Emancipation (Poem)

from Conviction by BRËZ

/

about

This poem expresses how, overwhelming myself with worrying and trying to be in control of my life will lead me lost and astray. By seeking God first, I will be set free with His emancipating Spirit.

lyrics

"Emancipation"
Most of the time, I don't even know how I truly feel.
My mind is so busy... My heart is too heavy.
Emotions and feelings that I don't even know how to spill.
Trying hard to be an example; Stand firm. Do my part.
Inconsistency! Where is my focus?
Why can't I finish what I start?
Trying not to forget my first priority: Matthew 6:33
With the fear of failure; feeling burnt out.
The fear of giving my all, yet losing my heart.
I want to do, do, do so much...
Indeed, I'm aware that people are in need.
But sometimes I forget that I also need to take care of myself.
Not at all in a selfish way. But I can’t neglect my personal devotion with the Most High...
Glorifying Him in every aspect of my life.
It's just so hard to focus when I have so much on my mind.
Replaying in my head, "seek first the kingdom"...
But I keep taking the foolish path of stress instead.
Excuses. Excuses… But I do know one thing.
Through all of this, God's trying to teach me something.
Both worrying and self reliance has blinded my sight,
Causing me to feel lost and overwhelmed.
He's telling me, "Open your eyes, Free your mind! Stop trying to be Lord of your life."
Most importantly, I now discern.
God is Over Everything.
Truly, a Lesson learned.
