Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why?
I am just like you and every way,
but you choose to turn your head away,
or you turn and look at me and say mean things.
Who are you to define me?
I hang my head and cry,
everyone thinks that I am telling lies,
I have no one I can trust, and no one to believe in me.
What must I do to make you see the pain in my eyes?
I am in the darkest valley, I can't even see where I am going,
I stumble and I fall, there is no embrace at all,
I now have cuts and bruises from the earth and flesh.
When will the light turn on so I can bandage myself?
Everything takes me back to the pain,
Everyone wants something from me,
Every day is another day that will bring me pain.
Where can I go that will keep me safe and away from all of this?
I am blinded by satan, so bad, that I don't know how to believe that there is a God who loves me, just enough to take away
my sins and set me free from my pain and suffering.
How do I believe?
(I want to believe)
Why don't I know how?

I wrote this about someone who is going through a lot right now and I put myself in her shoes and thought, "If that was me, what would be going through my head?" and this is what I came up with. I hope that you guys really think about what you do and say to other people because it can really hurt them deeply. I always ask myself, if I have said something rude to somone and didn't mean it, "What if that was their breaking straw, and the words that I said is the reason that they hurt themselves or maybe even made a decision for eternity?" and for all of those who are hurting please don't make an eternal decision to a temporary problem. You are worth so much more
