'Sucked Into The Vortex' Poem by Linda Winchell

I had been sucked into a sin-filled vortex!
Not my style, that's one thing that I know!
I've tried to live and walk with my God
it has been all I have professed and show.

But Satan had pulled me into this
Then I found myself falling quickly and deeply in.
Expressing things I wouldn't normally have said
Placing unjustified words, which now have become my sin!

My heart lay heavy in this sin I feel!
In which I have created for myself!
A vortex filled with my negative choice of words
I seemed to just grab off some back emotional part of self!

I ask my God and others to please forgive me!
God, please place my feet on holier solid ground!
To forgive my Trespassers and all sins committed
Replacing a smile on my souls
somewhat facial deepened frown.

Never meant for it to ever go this far!
Saying things in order to just get back.
It is NOT what makes me who I am
I am much, much, more kinder and better than that!

This vortex of sin is strong I've learned
It came to grab me in my moments time of weakness.
I need to have all understand who I really am
That which comes from a much Godlier given sweetness.
