Glory of God

A Poem by Joseph

The way I felt when I became a christian

Darkness engulfs me and
Holds me tightly in a
Lover's embrace, eating
At my innocence and nothing I say
Means a thing.

My heart has become
Engulfed by it;
Help!, I cry
But none hear me and I feel my skin being softly bit
By sometyhing not really there, merely a lie.

I want to die
But the darkness fuels my life
Forcing me to live, filled with
This pain and hurt; It's claws feel like a knife
Piercing my skin, the pain like dying a thousand deaths.

Suddenly, a light shines down
And the darkness flees.
The light becomes a heavenly figure
And I fall to my knees;
I am saved!, I cried and like a pulled gun trigger
The darkness fled my heart.
