Trenches

Last few days I've been deep in the trenches.

What I mean is I fight a battle that seems endless.

Every day when I wake up

it's a battle just to give myself love.

After that I get up, and put on a fake smile

For those who could care less if I'm alive.

I came down here looking for some help.

I didn't think it would lead me to hell.

God, please get me out of here!

Send someone now to relieve my fear!

Alone is not how I want to die.

Every day I ask You "Why God? Why?"

I'm fighting so hard to find me again,

but I'm exhausted Lord. I need You to win.

This battle might be in my head,

but I've seen less make men wish they were dead.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not that guy, but I was close.

For once i wish I'd be the one who was chosen.

That's never how it works out though. Not for me.

It is what it is now. I guess I'll just let it be.

It's time to be me again, so I can't be hating.

I always lose. That's just the way it is.

I'm sorry to bring everyone down,

but that's just where my head is at right now.

I'm lost, Lord. I don't know where to go.

I can't see the path You're trying to show.

I told you Lord, I don't get subtlety

especially when it comes to people loving me.

I wish for once I'd make the right call.

I'm at the edge of the cliff, trying not to fall.

God, I'm fighting this with everything I am!!

My head wants to believe no one gives a damn!

What the hell is the purpose if there's no one to share it with?!

It's the one meant for me just gone with the wind?

I've been down to this place, and pulled friends out,

but You tell me to love my enemy now.

Okay, I pray for them every night.

I pray that they'll come out of this alright.

Who prays for me though? I don't need another lesson!

I just need someone to come down, and pull me from the trenches.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

If you know what i mean by "in the trenches", i pray for you too. I pray for those I love, even if they don't love me back. I pray for my enemies, whether i think they deserve it or not. There's nothing else i can do. I am so tired of being down here in my head.

If you pray for your enemies

If you pray for your enemies every night you are way ahead of most

 

I'm thinking of those sharks who are stealing from my E coast friend

.. maybe because of your words i can say God give them grace to

change for the better

 

God bless all
