Ordeal

 Looking for a feeling 

That does not exist

Hoping for God's healing

While I persist

I forgot who's the enemy 

& who's the hero 

Then it all came back to me 

When I was looking in the mirror 

It was I, I realised 

While my body glared into my eye

I punched myself, then picked myself up

And threw away my thoughts, like emptying a tub

I moved the ground beneath my feet

 Fell into a grave, 13.ft deep 

What did I do, why did I?

A voice came back, I'm human, aren't I?

While candles burned 

My lessons I learned 

To look back and smile

While I ride my own mile
