Break Me

Part of my walk to faith

 

I'd asked for you to break me

Not knowing what would come to be

I'm so lost in this world

With what comes before me

I'd tried on my own a time or two

Didn't get me very far

I'd tried to give my heart to you

Just to grab it back once more

Yet even my heart is not really mine

I haven't seen it in a while

I'd tried to make my life anew

Yet left me without a smile

For I am not the answer that I need

My will, a means to an end

And my world, I've lost again

Hoping for the love you send.

I'd denied a time or two

To keep my life my own

And I'd never want again

Is what I've been shown.

I asked for you to take me

And make my heart all Yours

Bring some peace to my world

So seldom felt before

I've given you so little

So much you give to me

And the promise of your freedom

that gives my life to me

Bring to me a pardon

Of this world, such a weight

To carry on, none the less

To live this life I hate

I beg of you to take me

With all my good and bad

That You would come and break me

And all the love I've had

For nothing shall renew me

As does Your great love

As nothing would come true

Except for through God above. Don C. 2.13.08

You really have been writing up a storm! Every poem I've read of yours has been a new one, that is wonderful.

This one is very telling of having been through the hard times, and relying on yourself instead of Him. Something I am guilty of too more often than I care to admit. I keep trying ... I sure hope I get it right soon. lol
