Faced with my addiction
trying to resist
halting between two opinions
bending and swaying

roads pointing to the right
another to the left
options of choose from
to help one win or resist


Choosing a beginning
to battle to deflect this thing
looking in the mirror
its hopeless!
seems larger than life

Old habits began to shout
make satisfy the need
Winds screamed loudly in my ears
blowing so hard
I stumbled, after one week and gave in

depression followed
I had to renew my mind
and with sincere prayer
calling upon God 
a spiritual quietness flowed
from within
calming my heart
making clear my misty eyes

The presence of your word
surrounded my being
I knew in that moment
I was being helped
given strength.
With mind of determination
I renewed my mind
thinking  upon  good things
lovely things
honest and pure
of good report
of virture
things that gave praise
I stood!
and tried again

Patiently you waited 
and with a deep breath of calm
depending upon your strength
and riding upon the gift of your word
I tried again.

Pulling
pulling
and pulling
from deep within
listening
and listening
and listening
I stood
you smiled
yet not for the first time

finally making the journey
reaching the end of that road
I stood up and rejoiced
I'm more than a conquerer
I'm and overcomer 
among that crested hill



I gave In
