Ren's Pen
Friends or Foes?
My enemies surround me desiring my soul,
Seeking to devuor me and bring me low,
Constantly battling with fleshly pride,
What warfare goes on, at times inside.
They open their mouths like a deep pit,
It is hard to be silent, I have to admit,
I try to be strong and even bold,
But sometimes I feel alone in the cold.
I wonder why they do not understand,
For blindness has fulfilled this land,
I get angry at times and want to explode,
It is a heavy burden I need to unload.
At times it seems easy to give in,
But you know if you do it is sin,
Tired of fighting and losing the war,
Wondering at times why I care anymore.
This life it seems to be a difficult task,
To try to hide it would be wearing a mask,
Today their your brother, sister, and friend,
But will they be when this world comes to an end?
