Temptation Poem by nyna bankard

He’s weighing me down with his soul full of sin
The Devil himself is beginning to win.
He distracts me with his evilness to control my mind.
His power is so strong that it cannot be defined.
He’s eager to hold me back so that I’m unable to succeed.
I know he won’t give up until He completes his deed.
It’s all of this temptation that he flashes before my eyes.
And if I continue the path I’m going down, to Him my soul will rise
.
I’ve been faced with many challenges to continue this life long test.
And I can say with disappointment that I haven’t done my best.
I’ve put on many faces to condemn my many lies
Hurting the ones that love me and breaking our trusting ties.
I put my life in hands of people claiming to be my friends
But all they did was use me to support their daily trends.
I’ve been dealt with this temptation flashing before my face.
And this path I seem to choose is leading to the wrong place.

So with supporting help, I was brought to see
The one to lead my life is no one else but me.
I have to be in charge for the actions that I take
Stand up to my faults, in which I often make.
To make the situation clear, I ask for a second voice.
With the answers from up above, I’ve been given another choice.
Now I know the temptation that is lingering around me
Is nothing but a test to resume my destiny.
