10/29/2007 Church Off Path Poem by Coreena Dejesus

My mind wonders I keep thinking how did I get here?
I close my eyes and my thoughts just won’t disappear!
How did my life become so drastically off path?
I’m at a fight and mercy of my own wrath.
I am my own enemy… my own worst fear,
Rage has been building over the last year.
Both sides of my own anger still disagree,
How do I change things before it destroys me?

I’m crying out I’m stuck I’m not moving forward,
I feel I’ve fell out of touch with the lord.
I feel in church I just don’t belong,
I’ve been living in sin for oh so long,
My spiritual side diminished to none,
My sins my life what have I done.

My mind still wonders how did I get to this point?
My goals my life to myself I just disappoint.
I can’t show anyone anything is wrong,
I keep my head up and just push along.
I know things will be ok in the end,
I still have a shoulder to lean on my best friend.
No matter how hard things seem to be,
I open my eyes he tries to make me see,
That we’re happy even though things look rough,
I trust in him I hope that’s enough.
