I'd forgotten,
The lessons of my youth.
Forgotten his sacrifice.
Ignoring the truth.

I chose to travel a dark,
and lonely route.

I foolishly;
Souled out.

I let the sins of the world,
Seep into my life.

Allowed troubles to taunt me,
To fill me with strife.

I let anguish cause me to;
curse, scream, and shout.
I gave up;
I souled out.

I fell into a pattern,
That could only cause me pain.

Allowing my sorrows,
To fall upon me;
Like rain.

I turned away,
denying the love he would;
So freely give.

I'd chosen instead in sin;
To live.

Turning to a life,
Where addictions;
Ruled me.

I took for granted,
What I could not see.

But, God was there all along.

He believed in me,
Even when my faith;
Was not strong.

I'd forgotten,
What his undying love;
Was all about.
I'd given in,
I'd  souled out.
