Born Sinner Poem by Liz Dyer

I tried to change
Unwillingly went into a blinded study
I was constantly witnessed to
But avoided the placebo effect.
My heart was in tune
But this is earth, so the demons lurk
How foolish of me to even try
I got on my knees and read the bible
I clapped my hands
I cried his name
But deep down inside
I'm a Born sinner

They say don't let Devil use me
But he was already deep in.
I've been in still motion
And drowned under water
Focused on surviving
I neglected what was provided
Ignorant to the fact that God provides whats needed
They say you walk in religion
But the same people who pushed me off the cliff
As I tumbled and feel, and was broken and hurt
I thought to myself
I was happier as a Born Sinner

I rummage through the seven deadly sins
And break the commandments
I'm no different than people around me
I put my full face in the water to drink
Unlike the people who grabbed and drinked
You don't just ask for forgiveness of your sins
And go to heaven
Love is a commitment, that most don't achieve
Your good for a moment, then get up and leave
After that realization, I had a set mind
That I was comfortable being a born sinner

I could say there's no turning back
But then again thats a choice I've made
Living in a world where sin runs through the blood
All that's in my brain
Born Sinner, Born Sinner
I tried to flee
But then again I don't want to run away
Born Sinner
