Set Me Free

I've walked a thousand miles.
Been greeted by a million smiles.
Still my life feels so dreary.
When I think of what went wrong,
It feels so very eerie.
I am lost along life's path.
Hoping to be found before God's wrath.
Dejected and confused!
Oh why those drugs did I use?
It was a choice I made in my mind,
Hoping that peace I would find.
Over and over I cry,
Was it worth getting high?
Jesus please set me free.
Make me the man,

That I was meant to be!

A Choice like drugs is something that will have an everlasting affect on your life. Choosing to stop makes you stronger then you will ever know.

A very strong, effective piece.

Thank you for entering and good luck

Thanks for entering and welcome to allpoetry
It is so very true that the decision to do drugs robs you of all of your choices and begins a pattern that leads to desperation and loss of self.

I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.

God Bless

The poem speak volumes of your frame of mind in this piece. Wanting redemption and to fix what has been done. Great rhyme scheme (although line 4 seems a little out of place).

Great write in whole.

Good luck - let the ink flow and your fingers dance

Welcome to All Poetry
Some bad choices that you are now trying to change. I think it's good when we can admit we have made unwise choices and try to change the turn of events in our lives.
This poem flows very well and has some nice rhyme in it.
Thanks so much for entring our contest
