Mentality
Turmoil seeping into my mind
Sludge like and heavy
Brain churning lies
Loneliness
Afraid but loved
God speaks to me
But I feel unclean
Unworthy
Not by Christ
But by my aching heart
Fighting demons within
Doubt
Ones I cannot see
Picking at my scabs
Undoing me from within
Unravelling
Shame over taking
My guts are too heavy
For just me
Savior
Please cut me open
My truth on the floor
Venom pouring
Drowning
Silently praying
Needing you now
I want to kneel before you
Fear
Please hear my heart
Crying out
Draw me out Lord
Uncomfortable
Feeling so stupid
To walk in between
God fearing people
Unjustly
The time has come
To bow to thee
Lifting God’s name
Worshipping
My heart is tugging
I pull myself near
You are my protection
Father
Tears start to loosen
Like a waterfall
I cannot control
Hope
I stop to hide
My sole wide open
To the king of kings
I am unbroken
Love.
