Stuck Behind An Open Door
Voices clouded her sight
The vastness of the world
Was the alleyway of twists
And turns. Trapped in a maze
Couldn’t move forward
Or retrace her steps
She sat there alone on the curb
Headphones on so loud that
she couldn’t Hear her own voice
Changed her appearance
So much over the years
It was hard to tell who she once was
She didn’t know what path to take
Pressure surrounded her at all sides
She fell victim to her own mind trapped
Even though God gave her the key
Once she decided to turn off the negative
Songs did the eternal screams of not good enough cease to exist. Once she opened her Bible again did the fear leave
Like a new dawn approaching the shadows vanished from her. The vastness of the world
Didn’t scare her no more.
She heard a small voice like one she had known a long time ago.
It spoke quietly to her soul “follow me,”
With a new found passion she got off the curb guided by the Holy Spirit she found her way home.
And what if the dangers of this world? Surely she’ll stumble. She did not for God was with her every step of the way
Her future became brighter as she and God became close friends together they grew
God was her compass in a vast world
A father and a friend. She was God’s missionary a light to spread to the world around her
So that others may know God.
