Temptation

Temptation

A Poem by Jasmine Smith

A hint of temptation slips through

Why are you here?

Where did you come from?

Strength, I need strength

So I fail

I fall into the trap

Entangled in my own mess

Shame because I could have overcame

But I did not

Because I did not want to

God was right there waiting

Waiting for me to ask

But I did not

Is it because I no longer am chasing?

Chasing after you?

Coincidence?

I fail when I am far

God I am tired of failing

Tired of failing

I fast and I pray right now!!

God please!

Help me!

Be with me!

I cannot do this on my own

I am begging

Lord God Almighty

It is now

Not later

Flesh, flesh, go away

Leave me alone

I cry out

It is time
