DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
The problems that rose from my character flaws,
plagued me throughout my whole life.
I felt it was time to get rid of the cause
of all of my troubles and strife.
At first there were some that I wanted to keep.
I thought they were some I would need.
I set them aside and I studied them deep.
Decided, they too must be freed.
I thought of the effort, I knew it would take.
Of all of the things it involved.
Considered the habits that I'd have to break,
in order to get me resolved.
It seemed like too much. I never could do it.
That was my thinking at first.
I then reconsidered and as I thought through it,
I pictured my outcome, at worst.
I also imagined, what it would be like,
once I had worked on these traits.
I saw a new me, and what I could be like.
I pictured the life that awaits.
I knew I was out there. I had to pursue me.
I had to once find me again.
I had to make good, all the bad I'd done to me.
I had to correct all my sin.
I knew that, no way, I could do it alone,
That I'd need some powerful force
For me to remove all these seeds I had sown,
that God was my only true source.
My time has now come. I surely am ready
to pay me my long due respects.
I know God will help me remove, slow but steady,
my character's moral defects.
