Lies and Truth

I wrote this poem after seeing a really cool video at church. In the video there was a passage read that made sense whether it was read forward or backward. Not having the time or energy to create that specific of a piece, I wrote a poem that has a really sudden shift and where the beginning and end are opposites and the middle bring them together. At the time I wrote this, I was really struggling with beliving lies that the enemy told me instead of clinging to the truth that God tells me.

LIES

Silently creeping into your mind.

Like a poison once they are inside.

They come in many forms.

They shake you to the core.

Hard to get rid of.

Even harder to admit that they are.

Can destroy everything beautiful in your life.

Cause feelings of hopelessness, jealousy, anger, or isolation.

Hope restored.

Can repair everything that was previously destroyed.

Hard to remember.

Even harder to admit.

Can shake you to the core.

Has only one real form.

Like the antidote you’ve been searching for.

Slowing regaining control of your life.
