will not give up

by ekoileman, posted in poetry, writing

I have dealt with spiritual things all my life.

when they know what buttons to push, they push them relentlessly

and hard.

when the buttons they can push are fewer, and you are about to break

free, they push those buttons harder, and relentlessly.

I will not give up. I will not surrender

to my flesh. I will not give up.

I am bought for a price.

I know my value. It is beyond,

what I can conceive.

I will not give up, I will seek

my King.

I will pursue the cross and

the price that was paid for me. I will not give up, though

I fall in the mud and slide back covered

in filth. I learn better the chains that hold me, and I see

better where they are attached.

I will not give up to the process.

I am in the process of being made good I will not end that early.
