By Danielle Traviece-Marie Roberts
a power or a weakness,
a game or a battle?
Is it a victory or a defeat,
a burden or a relief,
a curse or a gift?
Is it right or wrong,
near or far,
life or death?
As for me, it's the action I take when I can no longer trust my emotions.
It's the weakness I am not ashamed to admit I have no power.
It's the battle that is already won when I am through playing the game.
It's the victory I have when everyone sees defeat.
It's the relief that comes when I eliminate the burden.
It's the right decision when all I know is wrong.
It's always near but seems so far.
It's the life I choose when I put my flesh to death.
The FEAR of the Lord believe me is all the above.
And as soon as I returned to the middle, I no longer had a
FEAR of LOVE.
