Where do I begin?

Swamps rise beyond boggy, mental clouds forecast foggy

Showers fall then dissipate. Pointed fingers; blatant hate

Baptized by spirit early in age; Document now received; had merely turned eight. . .

But the lightbulb would soon burn out and not long then entered clouds of doubt

From Church to Sin and again and again, Attending while sipping some spirits of sin, driving impaired with cars and kids...

39 questioned life, "what are you for"

"Just mistaken failures, you'll be nothing more!!"

40 came back at trial again... .

41-44 Man, I thought, that court case would never swing my way.. . I mean I've been so scared, like that devilishly, slicked back DA, he kept trying to insert my whole past life, well after a certain fresh start. ..

But anyways. . .

Remembering the promise you made unto me, post many a nights drunk in the streets.

That devil can continue to beat on my door, I'll fight for my life without fear anymore!

Despised the strife, now gratefully explored. Husband - Wife until forevermore. . .

Yet the serpent still slithers within the tall grass, but You've never forsaken, even I got a pass!!

Now I Share every message, no fear, shame or blame, reaching for better, bleeding my pain

I'll shout til the rooftops; we all know Your Name!!

And I'll keep casting up, let You Multiply!

.....

Hands raised toward eastern skies, trembling lips are mortified!!
