Sin's Stangling Hold Poem by Britney Hogue

With all this sin
You’ve wrapped yourself in
It’s no wonder
You can’t see the light

Sin can be so dark
Not penetrable by the sun
It’s no wonder
The darkest paths are your pick

You can be freed
It’s not an inevitable trap
There’s light past its strangling hold
But only you can find it.

Turn away from these who drag you down
You no longer need them down the road
You’re strong enough to go alone
And I know you can do this on your own

Rip sins grip off your heart
And free yourself from misery
Find the strength of God hidden inside
And fight these bars holding you aside
