Conversion (Poem)

Change starts from the inside

The part that you cannot hide

Yes from the world

But not from yourself

And you cannot be anybody else

Change trickles down

Down to the tips of the toes

Mental

Emotional

To physical

And spiritual

The alterations at which no one knows

If we are broken and lost

We'll feel defeated at any cost

Like a drain that sucks and plunges the soul

We think that damage is going to unfold

A future that's cold

Or so that we're told

From no one outside of our mold

It takes destruction to find the truth

Past issues to be dealt with and buried

Because to dwell means we fell

Deep into a self-loathing hole

Which makes us carry a heavy toll

Shed those kernel thoughts

Let not Satan settle and be coiled

He will be foiled as the LORD cometh

For His mindset has and never will be soiled

We let Him in

Forget our skin

And rejoice in the faith we have in Him
