Sometimes my meekness is taken as weakness. Some people think their words can harm me, make me give up, or shake my faith. I fear no mortal man for the worst he could ever do is take my life. I know my soul is safe in the hands of God.
A barrage of words
Fiery darts aimed at my heart
Designed to dissuade me
Raise questions and doubt
Regarding my faith, my beliefs, my life’s purpose
My strength and resolve greatly underestimated
The adversary believes he will win
I will not waiver for I have withstood
Greater forces in times past
An enemy fierce and all too real
Powerful attacks, attempts to capture my soul
I never retreated, I wouldn’t surrender
Led by a captain divine and almighty
Headlong into the trenches, ever forward
