"Open Ouroboros"

(Poem to My Former Self. the Unwitting Slave)

Except, I have no master to blame.
Because, I wasn't exactly unwitting.
Consent, I excavated it from darkness.
Darkness, I consented to mastering it.
Mastery, I toiled to enslave myself.
Slavery, I held sin close to heart.
Sinful, I thought was different.
Because, I "knew" it was good.
Because, I believed it Virtue.
Because, I heard God say it.
Except, I had only imagined.
Because, I trusted in my sin.
Because, I trusted in my heart.
Because, I trusted my imaginings.
Except, I found my heart was dark.
Because, I still thought it'd be "OK".
Because, I still thought it was "Good".
Because, I still thought I could "Help".
Sinful, I still chose to do it all MY WAY.
Slavery, I even made my chains Myself.
Mastery, I excelled only at imprisoning Me.
Darkness, I found pretends to be the Light.
Consent, I thought I'd agreed to THE LIGHT.
Because, I believed my hope was sufficient.
Except, I disregarded its selfish origin in sin.
Because, I hated the idea of being wrong.
Because, I hoped desperately in belief.
Because, I believed it was not sinful.
Except, I knew deep down it was sin.
Because, I had to withhold the truth.
Because, I had to begin it with a sin.
Because, I passionately loved my idea.
Except, I was shown its origin was sin.
Because, I begged God show me TRUTH.
Because, I saw all things confirming YES.
Because, I wanted to CONFIRM a REALITY.
Except, I knew I was asking out of guilt.
Because, I ignored the sin in my heart.
Consent, I finally revoked it from sin.
Darkness, I confessed it, I repented.
Mastery, I no longer rule over my sin.
Slavery, I was released from it by GOD.
Sinful, I hunt my OWN HEART for darkness.
Because, I am my own worst enemy AT HEART.
Except, I now trust in GOD with ALL MY HEART.

If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire,
and thou shalt rule over him.
Genesis 4:7 (YHWH to Cain)
