Choose Your Story

A discussion of "Choose Your Story"It is possible to serve the lightFor your own sake?To be Dark inside,Filthy with secret prideWhile outwardly stacking upYour achievements, Allowing othersTo laud your name, And never once realizingThat your soul is lost,Not in gross immorality,But in the actor’s gameThe hypocrites play.Listen closelyTo yourself.Is your story one of redemption?Or is it the hero’s myth?They are not the same story.I have a deep distrust for the latterAnd an unfailing affection for the former.So don’t tell me how you slew the dragon.Tell me about the dragon inside of you.That’s the story I long to hearBecause he lives inside me too,And it is all I can doWith the help of GodTo find my way.
