Conniving Condemnation

Conniving Condemnation

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Come to me,

Lay at my feet.

I have overcome what he had meant to defeat.

I was broken so you would be made whole,

Emptied so that you may be full.

My voice whispers of love.

The devil's voice screams of condemnation,

Overbearing expectation,

Arrogant anticipation of..

Perfection

While I gave correction it wasn't meant as rules,

But direction..
To do an inspection of your heart.

Let me warn you of that heart.

"OBJECTION! Order in the court,"

It cries,

"It doesn't feel good so I must be listening to somebody's lies"

But my child, that's a lie to try to satisfy your flesh, gratify
While we work past your stress..

But it's a test for things to come

Because soon, my child, you'll be coming home.

So hang to this grace I gave to you.

You thought I was finished, but I'm not done with you.
