The End of Myself

The End of Myself

A Chapter by Ethan Paz
"

Here you will read the spiritual depression of myself.

"

Dazzled and distressed

You would think that I would have done my best.

The vows that I had proudly told

Were lies like fools gold.

 

Evr’y night I returned to this

The same statement of forgiveness:

“Dear, Father, please forgive my ways

I return to You, my God, I pray.”

 

I pondered every single time

What a joke, what a crime!

I knew that when morning dawned

My sinful nature would again respawned.

 

Truly, I knew that I was not willing to change:

These sinful habits, these despicable ways.

But when my soul no longer could stand,

I withdrew from sin’s inevitable quick sand.

 

The evil inside then had nothing to grab

That’s when my Savior, my God, pulled out His hand.

It was when I pulled the last of my straws

When by misery, I just had to pause.

 

It was because of this, I lifted my eyes.

How could I, the only hope available, despise?

That’s when I repented and changed all my ways.

Now I desire to praise God for the rest of my days.

 

I’m not calling for a review

And I’m not telling you to listen to me.

What I’m saying is true:

Life is God.

A very heartfelt recitation of how conflicted you are with wanting to be good, yet due to imperfection we all seem to sin in one way or another. But that is why God forgives us, for he knows we falter many, many times!

It's funny how i prayed these words tonight in church; saying that i know once i repent i'll go back doing the same thing again. It's good to know we have a God who loves us despite our evil desires. Thanks for sharing! i loved this poem!

i was reading this and i saw how the words at first seem to flow together. I happen to think this could be arranged in a song. The words are kinda moving themselves needless to say but with a good guitar and a beat, i think personally this could be another song of yours. just saying. I love this poem buddy. Love it

A wise man know where the right road is and stays on it. When we live for the desire of this world. Easy to forget the simple pleasures in a life. Faith, family and good friends are a base of a life. I like the story and the positive ending. A excellent poem. Thank you.,
