I Am Afraid... Oh So Very Afraid
Folder:
Stages of Change I pray each night
I pray each day
To be a bird and fly away
My pain my sorrow
Will you leave today?
Will you leave tomorrow?
Please God I pray.
Make me a bird
To fly away.
Far, far away.
Do not pretend that I am Alright
Do not pretend that I am Safe
See my scars, and see my soul, and see why I ran away
So in the dark, I will stay.
And there you’ll find, all my pain.
The ones I hide, the ones I’ve cried.
Alone, alone in the dark I cry.
So whisper lies, that I may pretend
That I’m Alright
and I’m Okay
Whisper lies, so that I believe
Believe that I am safe.
I am afraid, oh so very afraid.
That in the end you’ll never see,
the pain I’m in.
I hide it so well,
so well you can’t see.
The smiles, the laughter’s....
are all make believe.
So close your eyes, because I do too. And say “It will all be over soon.”
Close your eyes, and hold on tight.
Please, dear Lord, help me fight this evil might.
I’m Afraid, oh so very afraid.
Know that I am like you.
The only difference is,
That my scars don’t bleed
I am afraid, oh so very afraid
That in the end I will not be saved.
That is honestly really good,
That is honestly really good, I really like the connections with the bird!
Thank you. :)
Thank you. :)
