In That Direction

As I ponder what might have happened, upon closer inspection

I had begun to use my will, and was headed in that direction

Not listening to my inner voice, I was headed for a slip

Listening to myself, I was starting to lose my grip

Subtle signs ignored, sometimes hard to be spirit wise

My mind bent on self will, I listened to its lies

Things not going my way, feeling sorry for poor old me

Going for what I wanted, I wouldn't let things be

What I needed I could not accept, and blocked it all out

Wanting everything made easy, always full of self doubt

Knowing that I was doing wrong, I could still hear my inner voice

Determined to do it my way, I left myself no choice

Coming closer to my doom, ignoring all for fools

On a path of ruin, breaking all the rules

Till when I started losing, almost everything I'd gained

Something said no you can't, and then my resolve waned

Coming to face myself, I finally had to stop

I had to get off the path I was on, accept anew who's on top

Remember, events can lead, in a direction toward setback

Its up to us to let it go, and let God put us, on track
