Camouflage

By Shavetta Craig

Camouflage is about a woman that didnt know love; so she sinned and lived a provocative lifestyle. Finally reality sunk in and she gave her life to Christ. She practice being celibate, but it was hard. Until one day Mr. Right came her way. There are three points in this story that I want to get across. The story is for the lost and confused, the single, and the married to show that you can be changed, you can wait, and that for the married the bed is undefiled. Hold on to your seat and enjoy the ride.

Introduction

I’m exploring another part of me,

The one that you keep behind closed doors so others can’t see.

I am a Christian, but I’m still human,

I am filled with excitement, pleasure, fun, and entertainment and making life booming.

Living the Christian life doesn’t mean to be dead,

We were given the authority to have life and have it more abundantly as it has been said.

It’s about doing and living right,

And staying from the darkness and walking towards the light.

It’s about being an example,

Others can learn a lot from our mistakes, flaws, trials, hurt, and pain because there is ample.

Living a Christian life is extremely hard,

But day by day and step by step we will get better with the only help we know our Sheppard and guard.

We will encounter trial and error,

But we can still pray, repent, and ask for forgiveness for our terror.

Well let me get to the meat,

Be cautious and prepared because I’m about to turn up the heat.

I’m writing a story about a woman’s life,

She has failed but now is trying to do and live right this time around until she becomes a wife.

While she waits; she is battling with desires and temptations,

This is where it gets difficult; does she give into desperation?

Waiting patiently is the hardest and truest test,

Can she do it, we will have to find out and see if she is giving it her best.

She is been approached by different men,

Even though she has changed temptation can still detect, unveil, and smell your old sins.

Were they the one, No,

On the righteous path she must go.

On that special one she continues to wait,

Can she do it or will she be bait?

While she waits there goes distraction, seduction, heating up, and all their cousins always in her path and at her door,

Can she handle it; I think she may need to pray more.

But at the right time he finally appears the one, her king,

Has patience brought her a ring?

Now in the right way she can explore her thoughts, intimacy, and passion,

Now she doesn’t have to explain and be ashamed of her actions.

A caterpillar has turned into a butterfly,

Until she was shown and given the right guy.

Let’s take a ride on this lustful journey as your mind, thoughts, and feelings are massage,

As she unveil to you her Camouflage.

Camouflage

Many mistakes in my life I have made,

The hurt, pain, lust, fornication, and many other sins with a price I paid.

In my life I have been ducking and dodging for cover,

I’m embarrass and a shame of my oh so many lovers.

I put on this disguise,

It’s time for me to give it up and become wise.

No longer can I hide,

I’m going to give it to Jesus so He can purify and cleanse my inside.

Starting fresh I’m living right now; my love, passion, and intimacy I’m going to conceal,

Until God blesses me in matrimony and with a love so real.

Then I can come from behind the mask,

And enjoy life and in happiness bask.

To a person there are two sides,

To which one will you listen to, follow, or abide.

When I get marry then I will come from behind the veil,

And do things right so I won’t go to hell.

I will have love and marriage it’s not a mirage,

Then I can release and come from behind my camouflage.

The Past

Where do I begin,

I was covered in sin.

I truly have a story to tell,

I’m grateful to have made it out of hell.

I wasn’t looking for love,

Because first of all I didn’t know what it was; it wasn’t looking for me, it wasn’t shown, or displayed to me and of it I wasn’t thinking of.

It all started since I was a little girl,

Because many have shattered my world.

It doesn’t take much to crush someone’s heart and dreams,

Many nights I cried and scream.

Growing up was hard for me,

Disappointments, mistakes, hurt, and pain was all I was known to be.

When I looked in the mirror I didn’t see beauty,

I felt ugly all over I wasn’t a cutie.

I was overweight,

I was never going to be someone’s mate.

To love I was dead,

To my addiction I didn’t care where I lay even in the bed.

Sex was my addiction,

And I had no restrictions.

Just to have someone in between,

Was my satisfaction because love doesn’t live here and I didn’t have on anyone to lean.

My sex addiction was my crutch and my aide,

Sometimes for it I got paid.

A couple of times I got a sexually transmitted disease,

I would get treated
