This one certainly needs some sort of disclaimer to have an idea with what was going on in my head. The last month or so, I have been attacked on all sides in multiple areas of my life... and someone spoke a word of wisdom to me when they said it sounded like Satan was attacking me. I'd gone through three weeks without even realizing that, but now I know that's very true. I've been attacked in every way that matters... although he's certainly focused on trying to get me to quit my job for some reason. I have my own ideas about why although I won't get into that. Physically, I got a knee injury at work...have been enduring physical therapy because of it (that crap can hurt!)...have been getting all sorts of crap from my superiors...and been expected to work long shifts as well as overnights despite my knee. And that's just work. ... Once I realized that Satan was/is attacking me, well, *has to grin* I got even more stubborn than I already was. This poem is a reflection of the frustrations I've been experiencing in recent weeks, as well as my determination to not let Satan distract me and keep my eyes and my faith on the path God has laid out for me. See why this needed an introduction? It's complex...and it's written as if I'm speaking to Satan... so enjoy doesn't work, but thanks for diving into my mind and heart.
I feel the pressure
You make opportunities perfect
And it may seem like an easy way out
You know that, don’t you?
You want to break me, lead me astray
See, I’m stronger than when you had me in your grasp
So it may seem like an easy way out

To abandon all I’ve worked for
You see, you’re pretty good at this game
I know you’ve played it before
But there’s something lurking there
Underneath the fine lines
I find myself gasping for air
And it may appear right in a time of doubt
And an escape may look like the only road to take
But an escape isn’t the answer – it’s the way I break
Perfect always was a disguise
For something untrue, some kind of lie
But I can’t be broken
I’m utterly stubborn
There’s no point in trying another way
And I’m holding onto the promise that this will truly last
See, I believe the whisper in my heart more than I do you
I am faithful to the One who has made me into someone new
And it may appear right in a time of doubt
And an escape may look like the only road to take
But an escape isn’t the answer – it isn’t my answer
I’m not going to break.
