Faltering Faith

Many have their doubts
Some have many, some have few
Some follow in his footsteps
Do you know them, I do

The ones everyone counts on
To lead them through their plight
Because of their relationship with Him
They are expected to make things right

But the more they are pushed
To know Him and what to do
The more stress and responsibility
As time goes on they lose sight of Him too

Walking in the darkness
Hoping to find the light
But everywhere you turn
The more sins you have to fight

You finally break down
And give up on the light
Turn back toward the sin
And give it all your fight

The sin attacks your soul
From every direction it attacks
The more it comes
The more your faith lacks

You have to come to a decision
What will it be?
Will you go back to Him
Or forever fail to see?

Hello Cassie. I skimmed over your poems a bit. Pretty good work. I don't suggest music playing in the background though. I don't mind it, but you can easily forget what you are reading when music is playing. Just a tip. Keep up the good work.

I love the poem... so accurate to how I feel sometimes, like when the pressure of other people cause you to lose your way...

I have the sound off on my comp (I'm at work), so I cant tell you how it affects me.
