I’m done

Your words and attitude,
are what causes me
to throw up yesterday’s food
and makes me wanna throw up
the food I’m about to eat,
even before I cook it.

It also makes me feel

like I’m drinking vinegar through my nose.

And having to listen to all your lies,
is like having bleach
pored slowly into my eyes.

So no matter what,
I will say something
and I will not
under any circumstances
hold anything back,
regardless of what you say.

Don’t worry it won’t make a difference
if I’m standing in your face
and telling you off
or taking a pen and paper
and writing you off.

Because either way,
you needed to be told.

I would often ask myself
how many chances would it take
for me to see
or even comprehend
God’s unconditional love for me.

Even though I was trapped inside myself,
like a room with a thousand windows
and one door.

I felt that no matter what I did,
I could never escape.
But God didn’t give up on me.

He would constantly knock on my door
and it’s not that I didn’t want to let Him in.

But it was my pride and my selfishness
that kept me from answering the door.

But once I set my pride aside
and realize God was giving me chance
after chance to see His love,
to hear His love through His word
and to except His forgiveness.

I finally opened the door,
closed all the windows
and never looked back.

Now when faced with conflict,
I now turn to the cross
of unlimited second chances.
