POETRY: This Is My Testimony. By Cheryl A. Baldwin

My Love, I can’t love you unless I began to love myself.
Internally conflicted because im not perfect,
My Thoughts always lead me to think im worthless.
I feel like I should just give up
But my Lord you have said, “That’s enough!”
My Head feels like its going to implode!
So much confusion I just can’t take the load.

This is me…
Without the Lord I would be nothing.
Saved by Grace, But my mental state is still adjusting,
To the challenges I face, in this world full of disgrace, and there’s no time to embrace the love of a MAN.
Teach me oh Lord help me to see,
That nearer to you is were I wanna be.
My heart belongs to you Lord.
