| MYGIFT POETRY CORNER "War with Thoughts" My mind is like a revolving door I can't even control it anymore Thoughts come in and out as they please Sometimes I find myself crying on my knees As I sit here battling these thoughts Thoughts that I've fought and fought Inside my head there's a war One side saying Stand, Stand for what's right The other says you'll lose this fight My mind is going through such a battle Inside there's a big rattle The war appears to be dying down As I just sit here and frown Just as I thought I was gonna have victory Here come more thoughts bigger and stronger than me What should I do? Should I cry out to God to set me free? Or should I depend on only me? Trust me, depending on me will get me nowhere But crying out to God, will relieve me of despair I now realize how to win this war I have to call and trust in God more and more Cause I know now he's the only one to help me win this WAR!!!
