Darkness creeping in the shadows, don't let them in. Shadows on my skin don't let them win. A constant battle against sin, I use the power of my pencil, sometimes my pen. Cast them out with light, positivity, its a possibility but when the sun goes down its hard for me to have peace and tranquility. The negativity creeps in my mind, negativity all the time, a constant battle as I wrestle with my thoughts, toss and turn all night. The enemy knows exactly when to strike, when its just right. A thought that is not my own, questions I don't want to ask, doubt I don't want to have, answers I don't want to know. Take it all away I pray, take it all away as I pray for you and the light of day. Not even the sun shines as bright as you. When I have come undone you come through to put me back together. Some how each time I am better than I ever was before. Lessons, you always teach me more. Even if I have to let go of things I cling to like glue, I thank you God for the things you do. You leave the 99 to save the one. Even if I am not the most holy of your daughters or sons. Just a common sinner, sometimes just a common fool. The bible a tool I need to use to protect myself more often. I forget to pick it up when I am lost in the world. There is power in words, is this why you have blessed me with knowledge? The tongue a double edged sword. I use it to try to slay the demons that torment me but its easy to curse myself as well.
