Itʼs like one step forward, then two more back
I push myself down with no time to react
No brace for the impact, or warning to the storm
I struggle to stay afloat, and remain true to form
With pressure to perform, but the truth in my heart
I strive for unity, single minded but set apart
The approach seems different, and I promise it will be
But itʼs me against me, and itʼs an empty recipe
Change is an easy word, but no matter who is sent
If itʼs not real to me, I will never implement
Honesty calls, and Iʼll ignore if I can
Like the sin I set on repeat, over and over again
But amongst the hollow habits, and things I canʼt erase
I remember you are God, and Iʼm your child saved by Grace

Behind the Song:
"My pastor Brad Duncan called me about on a Tuesday in regards to that coming weeks church service. He asked me to write a spoken word piece to share '"my story". I struggled with that poem for days and with literally 1 hour before the service the following verse was given to me. The words should speak for themselves...its the 411 on my life....." - Benjiman
