Sins Prison

Shackled by lies I've been tormented by my own decisions
I've shunned God and all other religions

I indulged in my own perception of pleasure
And hurt ones I loved beyond measure

I ignored my own pain, attempting to drown them away
Yet after each hangover recovered, within me they'd stay

I was never taught how to cope with the hardships of life
Once lonely in my struggle I now have a new cellmate, my wife

Our crimes individual, our sentences set different
Eyes opening finally, no longer ignorant

We've had to learn our paths aren't the same
Although we must support each other through all the pain

All will be according to Gods plan
I just pray he makes me a better man

With God I'm finally being set free
Yet I always have to be careful for the sin in me

I now have a cellmate, my wife- These words struck me. Are you trapped together? Are you co-conspirers? Is this negative, positive or merely a fact? Interesting peice!

We're trapped together by are sinful nature. Each sin different, together we struggle. Our paths to redemption separate, yet we fight side by side to break those bonds. It's positive in the end for we've found the one that can redeem us! Human nature is to rebel, from birth, that is a fact.

Thank you for your comment.
