Her gaze has grit and her fight no fear

We’re midway through this brutal combat

I’m exhausted and weak, she notices that

From across the ring, she begins to charge

As she draws closer, I see her fist enlarge

One firm blow across my unsuspecting face

I fall to the ground again, such a disgrace

My knees tremble as I attempt to stand

Another merciless whack from her heavy hand

She’s fierce this one, have I met her before?

I can barely think, lying in pain on this floor

I struggle again but this time I rise

It feels like she’s someone I know in disguise

I’m determined to press on and win this fight

My closest friends, they witness my plight

Some cheer me on, some mock and chuckle

Every time I am victim to her violent knuckle

I don’t want to lose but I’m feeling so weak

Me winning this brawl looks extremely bleak

I try one last time to muster my clout

I run fast toward her, but she strikes me out

I feel her weight, smother me to the ground

I’ve been defeated again, that was the last round

Those around me are in terrible dismay

They’ve seen me losing to her every single day

In utter disappointment, her face I try to see

Only to realise, this girl I’m fighting is ME.

Bound by the prison of precision, I miserably fail
This wall of virtue, I can no longer scale

I’m tired, exhausted and drained from the fight
To constantly be seen, to be heard, to be right

When the applause ceases and the ovation ends
When there’s pin-drop silence, even from friends

When every treasure I hold is no longer shining
When every silver I’ve earned has a cloudy lining

I wake up knowing that everything is dross
What matters most is that I cling to the cross

Without Him, I’m just a shell of a being
Trying hard to be noticed but hardly ever seen

I give up ambition to reach this imaginary peak
In His presence, I choose to be broken and weak

Instead of approval, fame, attention and gain
Give me Jesus, everything else is just vain
