Marked for Death

Everyday a struggle
Everyday a fight
Another step in the right direction
Down this path, towards the Light
Each breath a new commitment to see this through
This choice I make, these words I speak
All reflect on You
Words of duplicity
Ruthless lies meant to deceive
Let these words never leave my lips
Let my heart never conceive
Words of hypocrisy
Prideful disrespect
Words of arrogance
They mark a man for death
Marked for Death
I am dependent
Only a man
I can do nothing
Without the hand
Of the Almighty
To hold me fast
My words my falter
Yours words everlast
No longer marked for death.
