My Sin by Jeannette Gibson

My Sin

by Jeannette Gibson

My sin -

Crucified my Brother

Destroys my mental faculties,

my flesh, my body, my soul

Cherished, possesses me

taking away my Christianity

Uses

Wastes -

Wastes time to know God better,

to reflect Him to others,

to live and love and learn

Retrogresses me

back to what I used to be

The neural paths are stronger than before

The scars deface me all the more

My habits change, and I become the bore;

I hurt

I tear

Claiming Christ's sanction,

Yet infecting others from my rotten core.

Then it is I see that Jesus sees

My distorted figure formed

He stretched out His hand and frees

And I become transformed
