Somebody Like Me by Latasha A Willis Thursday, August 17, 2006 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I originally wrote this poem in 1996 after going through a spiritual transformation a year earlier. At the time that I wrote this, I was a senior in college and was freaking out about getting my thesis done before the deadline. I guess I needed something creative to help me keep my cool! I had misplaced the poem several times over the years, and when I found the poem again last night, I decided that I had better publish this somewhere before I lose it again. I'm amazed at how young and innocent the poem sounds to me now. I see now how much my thought processes have changed over the last decade. Maybe this writing will come in handy for a church youth leader.
I am so unworthy Why would God want to set my spirit free Why on earth would God want to save Somebody like me A wretched soul who lived for the Devil And did his bidding every day Not realizing that I was being deceived In so many ways The depths of Hell, where I could have been If the scales did not fall from my eyes I hope to be part of that great wonderful day When far away my soul shall fly To a big, beautiful city Where the streets are made of gold And light fantastic, bursting with love The souls of saints, I will behold Hallelujah to the King, who became a pauper for me And suffered, and died to give His life That I might one day be free From the clutches of Satan, who still tortures my flesh But I fight him off with glee For I am so thankful, so very, very thankful That Jesus saved somebody like me.

I can see the innocence you possessed at the bearing of your soul at that time of your life. You had great poetic sense back then, but I also see how you've matured and blossomed into the woman you are, having read some of your other works. You have a great gift to share and I, for one, appreciate it. I am mainly a writer of prose, not poetry, and had to learn to be a poet by practice and patience, and I am nowhere near as good as you - I am still learning. Keep up the faith AND good work! Thanks for sharing, my Sister! RM Green
