Broken

In the midsts of this chaotic life

I experience a lot of emotions

That I can't exactly pinpoint 

One day I smile

One day I cry

One day I cheat 

One day I lie

But, could find no ties

Until, God opened my eyes

I can now see the beautiful skies

Then, I look at myself and cry

This is not how God designs

I am controlled by sin

I do what I don't want

I want what I don't do

I am broken

Fallen from Heaven

Where the bread is unleavened

and we all ball better than Stephen

But, I am here

Holding my tears

But, God says you are healed

My death appealed

The tomb unsealed

My destiny revealed

The yeast removed, the bread unleavened

So, I may go to Heaven.

Beautiful Travis. I like that sequence of sin, repentance, redemption. Thanks for sharing.
