Trail of Thorns

When my life took

It’s turn towards the bad

Jagged edges of my soul

Lashed out with all it had

Blaming tongue-regretful sighs

Pointing fingers mirrored

By accusing eyes.

I chose this path

Trodden down so well

Not one person made me go

Seemed easier-this road to hell

With it’s trail of thorns

Wasn’t anyone else’s fault

No one but my own.

Now I just need to repent

Of self-serving arrogance

My pride that should have went

When it first was given the chance

I want to kneel and really pray

For God to show me just how

To be a follower of His Son today

For only in my desperate heart

Can I truly know His peace alone

And reach my final destination

This place I call my heavenly Home!
