Haiku: Becoming Who I Am

I would if I could
But I can't as I'm not the
Man I used to be;

I will what I must
And do as I'm commanded
As truth sets me free.

I've fallen and lied
All because of pride knowing

It would lead to that;

But I've risen and
Stood on the rock carrying
Wood which brought me back

From the depths that I've
Been when I wallowed in sin
Satisfying lust

All because I could.
But I've learned from my past and
Made up my mind so

At last I can be
Who the Most High called me to
Be. A son of light!
