A Poem by Leviathus Fortes

As I put my shoes on
And I tie the laces
Memories of my past, flash
Remembered; all the faces

I think back to the moment
When that fire was burning
When I felt that purpose
To accomplish something

Now I'm standing still
And I feel the yearning
Broke down; fire out
What lesson is it that I'm learning

If I could just dig deep enough
I think I know for sure I'd find
The words to use
To finally have a piece of mind

Writer's block
Tied in a knot
Had to overcome my struggles
For everything I've got

Lost somehow
I know I'm buried deep within
Searching for my voice
I pick up this pen

Last chance, last stance
I'm breaking free
Last straw
I cast this devil out of me

I've had enough
Time to fill my cup
God's Favor is upon me
I'm going to show you up

Just like lightning
That is ready to strike
Give me your best shot
I'm going to put up a fight

Angels walk beside me
I am His Soldier
Helmet, sword and shield
Wearing His armor

Each step I take is building strength
As He carries me
You keep putting on the blinders
But He helps me see

God boasts about me
So you challenge faith
I was captured in your rapture
By a pretty face


All is well
Now
As I look forward
To my purpose
This place
What He's moving me toward
You can be sure
A flourishing finish
To big too ignore
That's how this is ending
Time to finish this war

You forgot the part
About having heart
You tried to keep me stupid
God kept me smart

You tore me down
Thinking that I would crumble
That's just what God needed
Because it made me humble

All you did was helped me
To become a stronger man
A now who I am
Here as I stand
Is better than who I thought
That I was back then

Transition, though confusing
I will go with the flow
Following His guidance
Putting Him in control

You keep tempting me
You're having fun
Get behind me Satan!
God's already won!!
