Today, pain flood my torn soul,
my heart feels so alone and oh so cold,
Darkness conveys my scarred heart,
As the horrible pain tears it all apart,
To shreds the sharp pain tears,
does anybody hear me, does anybody even care?
It strikes like a thief in the night,
The feeling of pain is too strong too fight,
It seethes razor sharp teeth in very deep,
It even destroys my calmest sleep,
On top of my shoulders, pain will sit,
at any given moment it stalks, looking for a time to hit,
It will leave you feeling horribly sad and blue,
Tell me, what am I suppose to do?
How am I suppose to continue to live?
What do I have to give?
What will make this pain go away?
How do I find a more satisfying way?
Questions flood my heart and tear at my worn soul,
Pain has got me in a strong hold.
Some say ask God to help see me through,
While my boys tell me to stay true,
Others talk about love is the way,
Some just say for my wrong, pain I must pay,
I am trapped between two worlds that are about to collide,
from the pain there is no where to hide.
My worries and pain I shall leave for him today,
I will let go of the past and forget yesterday,
I am going to start all over again,
before the pain brings my life to an end,
I will fight this battle with pain
with God by my side, I have my soul to gain.
The battle will be long and hard,
from it my soul will be battered and scarred,
the pain will tear at my heart, dragging it down,
but with God, I will firmly stand my ground,
with his strength, I will stand strong,
No matter how deep or for how long
the pain will try to stay,
because with God, I'm looking forward to better days.
Yesterday, pain once flooded my soul,
Today, my heart has been made whole,
all the pain can do is look and stare,
because I found somebody who cares.
