You can not have it
For it is mine
I will not submit
It won't be fine
Stop your yelling
Your raging fit
There's no doubt telling
This war is legit
Your tricks won't trip me
Your lies won't work
My heart is ready
To wipe away your smirk
I know your rotten scheme
I know your foolishness
I know your constant theme
To make my life a mess
I won't give in
I won't stay back
Your voice speaks sin
Each time you attack
And that little lie
I used to believe
I'll never again buy
Whatever you perceive
I'm through with you
And the death you give
This whole time you knew
You weren't going to let me live.
I stand my ground
Armor in hand
For I have found
A greener land
I walk upright
My pace is steady
I'm willing to fight
I'm on guard and ready!

He Waits
He stands before me with an outstretched arm
With a watch upon His wrist
He silenced the alarm
And checked time off of His list
I stood stubborn with my hands tucked away
With a grimace upon my face
I decided I'd rather stay
Than walk at His pace.
He said not a word, but just let me be
To figure out this lock
In His hand He held the key
That would demolish this road block
My heart was so hard, my eyes were so blind
I couldn't see ahead
The search for freedom was hard to find
Without Him my hope was dead.
He patiently waited for me to awake
And grasp hold of His hand
The choice was mine to make
He simply drew a line in the sand
On one side was life, the other death
The key could be mine
One side healing, one side strife
Now which side of the line?
He didn't push or make my choice
He let me decide
He encouraged me to use my voice
And set all fears aside
I looked up to view this male
How could He be so kind?
I was imprisoned and He helped my bail
All release papers He signed
I looked down at my feet
And saw the chains of bondage break
I no longer felt the defeat
Of a life the devil tried to take
I took the key and stood up straight
And me and death parted
Since He paused His watch, I wasn't late
My time He restarted
"Why, sir, did you wait so long?
What if I didn't come?
What if I chose the wrong
And let my heart go numb?"
He smiled as He embraced me tight
And kissed me on my head
He touched my eyes and gave me sight
And this is what He said,
"A shepherd searches for His sheep
And protects with all His might
But ultimately He can only keep
The ones who choose to fight
The battle's tough and tiresome
Extending in length
But call on me and I will come
And clothe you in my strength
My love is patient, My love is kind
I promise never to boast
When you take this key, you willl find
My heart yearns for you the most
My word is valid, My promise secure
My love is never stale
Of one thing you can be sure
You I will never fail!"
With a watch upon His wrist
