For the LORD sees not as man
sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. 1
Samuel 16:7
The Devil's Game
I played it over and over
And I just don’t get it
This didn’t have to be so huge
But you made a big fit
Now all eyes are on me
Watching every move I make
Struggling to be free
I feel like a damn fake
My reputation is gone
They all look at me weird
Making me go through hoops
This is just what I feared
I hate this game
I don’t want to play
But have it your way
I guess I’ll take the blame
Only God knows what’s true
He sees this heart of mine
There is nothing else I can do
With Him I’ll be just fine
So why the
above poem? I wrote it a while ago as I was processing with the Lord and
looking to Him for healing over some hurt I had experienced that was killing my
soul. There is just something so therapeutic for me in writing a verbal
composition to convey experiences and emotions in a vivid and imaginative way.
I connect in such a sweet and intimate way with the Lord as he helps me get
that pain from my heart, out of my head and into poem form. For me it's
so freeing and allows me to connect with the Lord in a deep and creative way.
This
particular poem was written during a time I was facing some hardships and I
knew the best way for me to make sense of my emotions and heal was to express
to the Lord exactly what I was feeling. The Lord met me in such a sweet way as
I sat down and wrote this. He helped me put into words the hurt and pain I was
experiencing in a way that I know He understood even if no one else did because
he gets me like nobody else does and for me, that's all that matters.
This poem was also a way for me to let go and let God. LETTING GO IS FREEDOM!
