It's so easy to fall into the trap...
The trap that uses up my hands to click on some idiotic Facebook quizzes
The trap that uses up my mind wallowing in the guilt of having eaten the chocolate brownie I shouldn't have,
The trap that uses up my eyes to entertain myself with model wannabes and middle-aged housewives bitch-fighting on the local TV channels, when I should be getting some quality eye-shut that time
The trap that uses up my mouth, stirring up dissensions here and there, adding some dry wood to spark some fire here and there....
The trap that uses my legs, walking to places that every loved one will ask me to steer clear off,
The trap that uses my emotions, doubting over some impulsive decision and the consequence and aftermath it will bring
The trap that uses up my self-control to lead myself to instead of away from gratifications of my impure desires,
The trap that uses my soul to love the world more than Him....
This is thus, the confession of a trapped soul
A trapped soul that desires nothing more to repent, get back on track and do what she is supposed to do with her life, instead of wasting it to yet another trap...

powerful. this reminds me of a song we used to sing in Sunday School:
oh be careful little eyes what you see
oh be careful little eyes what you see
for the Father up above is looking down in love
so be careful little eyes what you see
(goes on with be careful little feet where you go, little mouth what you say, little hands what you do... and is overall an excellent lesson, even to adults, that we can and must take responsibility for our actions -- and the times we fail, to trust that a God of love is looking to lift us back up out of those traps again).
