A poem describing myself
The Voyager
by Justin Chopin
In the dawn a young voyager
Gazes at the virgin sunlight. He prays that His God Will always hold him tight. He meditates and pleads while Sitting next to a tranquil tree. Searching every orifice Of his heart for a Christ-given harmony. But it seems in his Struggling he cannot find. Anything to alleviate The demons of his mind. For he feels life smothering Him like a living hell. He is a lonely, monotonic Christian And this is his tale: I have been searching for God Since I was seven years old. But I can't find His peace and My spirit is so callous and cold. In my deepest forebodings of fright Demons surround me and I can't cry. Jesus, help me, Sweet Jesus because I don't want to die. I tried to sojourn to the forest, A tranquil Promised Land. So that Lucifer could not touch me With his flaming, tortuous hands. But with every step and with every turn I begin to lose my fragile hope. Jesus, please help me Because I just cannot seem to cope. The world around me is changing And in its transformation I can feel. I'm losing touch with reality And no longer distinguish what is false or what is real. My heart is beating so intensely With every step I take. Jesus, I give you my spirit and my soul For I know I am yours, never to forsake. |
