The New Me

Every so often an idea will come to mind and I'll attempt to write a poem, if you want to call it that, cause I'm not really sure it fits into the category of poem...or writing but either way I'll write it down. Generally when these ideas show up they have to do with my faith/religion. I don't share them to force my beliefs on people because I can't, nor would I if I could, force my beliefs on anyone. I just live my life the best I know how, treating people the best I can. With all that being said, or technically typed, here is the recent 'poem' I wrote.

The New Me

Unlike the Pharisees and Sadducees 

It's the truth I want to believe 

Not chained by traditions 

Just to say I have religion

Time to destroy my disguise 

No more feeding these lies 

I was living a masquerade 

Not letting the old me fade

You can't hide a city on a hill 

Lord help me stay in your will

 Being led by the Shepherd 

Only way I'll make it in this world

Put my old way of thinking aside 

Now using the bible as my guide 

My wants no longer my goal 

God's grace has made me whole

No longer carrying a heavy load 

But walking down a brand new road

 Led by faith not by sight 

The love of Christ is my light
