The Salvaged Soul (Poetry)

THE SALVAGED SOUL

Gayle Palaca

I'm sinful but you forgave me

I'm broken but you complete me

I'm jeopardized but you saved me

I don't deserve you but you still love me

I'm vain, vulnerable, and a mess

but you still think I'm special

You're impeccable, yet, you put me—

this despicable lady on a pedestal

I'm a burnout vessel

but you picked me up from the ashes

I deserve to be thrown away

but you don't think I'm one of those trashes

You are my savior, my Lord, my God

You are amazing, the best friend I've always had

You were with me in every step of the way

You have never forsaken me, not in school nor on play

My whole life changed the moment I accepted you

My once monotonous colored world, now gained hue

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21)

And now I'm confused on which to bargain
