Transition

Existing in a rapture, I relished in my capture
I feasted like a vulture, and ceased in growing mature
Feeding on the kindness, attitude was mindless
Unknown to the fact I was moving in my blindness

I'd hoarded on my past, and a dark shadow was cast
Over my mind unknown to the fact my joy won't last
Time was flying fast, family watched me aghast
Unmoved by my actions, lazed like life was a blast

Waking became a labour, turned to you as my saviour
Weakened in my spirit, getting worse in my behaviour
I simulated strength, but a mask was all I put on
Transparent was my soul, all my thoughts became illusions

I started to opress, I could not deal with my stress
All faith I had was less, and my anger was supressed
The bond became bondage, felt I was in a cage
Kept feeding all the anger, paranoia and rage

Unknown all along my life was being orchestrated
All up to the point when we became seperated
No chance for negiotating, my life has been designated
To lead and not to fall, spirit in me stimulated

By someone far greater than the idol that I worshipped
The One who created me, my Father and my Lordship
Was hiding from my problems, but He tore apart my shelter
Enabled me to send my fears all running helter skelter

I thought my life was over, my heart drowned in the damage
He told me I would make it, and I'd do much more than manage
All I thought was significant became irrelevant things
Unimaginable became real, I saw what life brings

Now my eyes are open, I'm detached, empty of worry
I'm passing through this world, all this is just temporary
Patience, perseverance, silence are my monetary
Pain will be memory when I lay in the cememetary
