Truth Beats the Lies
Today I pen this poem for all of you
Know in your hearts every word is true
There was once a time that I was insane
Everyone I loved, I caused them pain
Grandparents to my children’s hearts
I honestly tore them all totally apart
Uncles, Aunts, Sisters and Brothers
She hadn’t drown probably my mother
The best of friends and all of my mates
No one was exempt from sharing my hate
My hate was a river that forever poured
My soul was thing that I forever ignored
So why is that not the Michael Jordan of today
One day I ask of the Lord, “Please guide my way”
The road wasn’t easy true change never is
My life was no longer mine I considered it his
And what he ask, what he wanted me to do
Is use myself as an example of how to be true
Being true to myself I quickly learned was the key
I couldn’t anything for you till I was honest with me
And no matter what I do it could never be enough
When it comes to amends I have a lifetime of stuff
But none of that matters it no longer matters at all
I now bow to the Lord but to the world I stand tall
I no longer hold to excuses or offer up alibis
I have learned how to let go of all of the lies
My truth is my shield as I write for the Lord
My heart writes lyrics as my soul plays the chords
I don’t even really know what this poem is about
Sometimes I’m blown away by what comes pouring out
I guess it’s just another way to rise above the sin
For it’s the words I write that teaches me to win
What am I trying to win, I do hope it shows
A little more love in my heart and light in my soul
What this poem is about I have come to realize
No matter how much it hurts the truth beats the lies
