If I Get 1 More Chance...(potent poetry re-post)

by Diana Ramsey


Today, I woke up feeling like I shouldn’t. 'Cause yesterday I still didn’t give all of myself to the "Most High". God, I know I disappoint you. The way I pray before I go to sleep and when I wake up, means less and less because I continue to do the things I know, from your mouth to my ear, what is wrong. I fornicate, curse, drink, and have not fully committed my life to you. I find myself being angry at the person in the mirror. The more scriptures I read, the more evident the presence of you should be in my life. If I get 1 more chance, I will praise you to those who won’t listen. But I'm laying here praying for that chance, God. So now, I lay down to sleep and if I get another chance, I’ll keep trying harder and harder each day to walk in your steps, God; for you wake me up everyday for one...more...chance.
