Resides In Me

6-10-06

Here I sit
Alone in this room
With this new thing inside
It resides in me

But I didn’t ask for it
I didn’t pay for it
It isn’t supposed to be mine
Yet it resides in me

Why does it live
Why is it mine
Why do I now own it
Why does it resides in me

I can’t consider it a gift
But rather a curse
The terror, the horror, the fright, shock and dread
The panic, the alarm--
They reside in me

They live inside
Defining who I am
Telling me where to go
Telling me what to do
Corrupting my thoughts
Eating away
As it resides in me

Leave me alone-leave-
Get out-you are not mine
Stop living in me
I belong to Him
He will win
I will reside in Him

Psalm 91:1
