A sinner's prayer should be a list of sins, not a dreamer's right. For you mustn't forget the debt you carry. A sinner's prayer should not boast, like the fan of a peacock's tail. After all, you are begging, not to roast. What should a sinner's prayer be? How many times would we tell them how their prayers should feel?

Who Am I? A boat in a desert Who am I without your ever-seeing eye? Who am I? A wondering wanderer Who am I without your words of power? Who am I? An umbrella with holes, unable to cover I hold on to you, barely clinging, Even though you gave me a seat Who am I? Who am I without my longing for you? An arrow with no path I know you always listen; I know you never fail But... I fail. So who could I ever have been without you?]]></description><link>https://www.yemi-idowu.com/post/who-am-i</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a61fb6c21af5c246d0115b9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:32:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/204aa2_6e7a6a7267b44f58b655e468b673867d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Yemi Idowu</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swords &#38; Words]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the ballad of words, And the battle with swords.
