Snakes, Doors, and a Pathway to Darkness

I found this path

It wasn't right

It stole me away

Took me from the light

With snakes all around

This treacherous place

I forsook my hope

As I fell from grace

I opened up doors

That I was never meant to touch

I heard warnings in my head

After I felt the demons rush

Where was I going?

Who was I now?

Was God still there with me?

Was I speeding toward Hell?

I reached for Him

But He felt all too far

Was I abandoned?

Just where was my heart?

The dreams told me things

That I didn't know

About where I was

And where I should go

The warnings were constant

They came all the time

Slowly drawing me closer

As they tugged at my mind

My eyes finally opened

As my heart regained sight

Truth was revealed

As I let in the light

"Purge away darkness

Be rid of your sin

You must purify your heart

To allow Me back in"

So I gave You my heart

And presented its key

I asked for Your aid

That You would change me

This poem by Alicia-Veracity is personable in message, vulnerable in scope, intimate in tone. The rhythm and beat are tight and well constructed. I would give this piece four bright stars!
