I know that nothing good dwells in me.
That is in my flesh.
What is wrong with me.
Why be imprisoned in this flesh.

I have the desire to do what is right.
But not the ability to carry it out.
Give me strength I pray to seek the light.
To put doubts and fear to rout.

I do not do the good I want.
But the evil I do not want, I keep doing.
I am in spiritual want.
Doubts , depression festering.

But there is hope.
All that matters is hope.

…….

The good that I want
Is just not what I can do
So I keep trying
