Dust clouds blocking out the way to a better choice
Gets in your mouth, so thirsty; constricts the voice
Stealing energy needed to find the road less traveled
Prevents the healing of a young life that has unraveled
Fighting the desire, yet, still breathing it in deeply
Visions of overcoming, yet efforts are applied meekly
Conscience unclean from life highways; dirt covered
So hard to breathe, left gasping, and feeling smothered
Not wanting judgment, seeking care, to find a solution
Someone who will hold you up without persecution
A lifelong friend who will forgive; a forever savior
One whose love is constant, regardless of behavior
Overcoming burdens, such a challenge when all alone
Help is needed to cleanse the grime, a new path to atone
Staying on a treacherous route can leave your fate frozen
Let Jesus lead you off the trail of trials you have chosen
