I'M SORRY, LORD JESUS  !

There are some days I walk about
and want to fight, or scream, or shout -
I want to beat my fists and cry
I want to quit, I want to die.

I seem to be so out of sorts -
nothing's fun, not games or sports!
There's nothing that I wanna do,
except for maybe be with You!

All the things I've done for You
I actually did for ME, some too,
I'm so selfish, I'm ashamed
because I know that I'M to blame...

For all the things between us now
were choices I HAD MADE somehow -
All the times I sat alone,
ignored my Lord, upon His throne!

I wisht I'd lived my whole life through
and spent it all alone with You -
Never leaving to watch t.v.
or bowl or sleep (or even pee)...

And then Your Grace envelops me,
and sets my soul and spirit free...
You love me in SPITE of me,
and all the times we disagree...

You're patient, loving, kind, it's true
and I can never stop loving You -
I have forever to walk and serve
and be the servant You deserve!

Help me, Lord Jesus!

The content of this poem is inspiring, the rhythm is thorough, though it is some what sing songy... overall good piece and happy writing...

Hi, Brokenstar -
I seem to always have some kind of tune running around in my head - so if it's sing-songy, I was probably rhyming to that tune...I noticed a lot of my poems are like that!
Have you read my poem about GOD ? It's like that all the way through (and its Lo-ong)!

This is great. It's not only great to see the talent and emotion in the piece, but I'm glad to see a friend following Christ. It's a very touching piece, it shows that there are truly people out there willing to repent and serve God in the world today. Great job, and God bless.
