Life

Here I am again, been walking down this path so wide

Thinking I wish that i could just hide.

I want so bad to go back the other way,

but then I feel like a failure every day.

 

The stress comes, and it washes over me like a waterfall.

I don't know what to do. I'm being hit from all sides.

God what did you ever see in me?

I wish i could just use my eyes and see...I'm so weak.

 

But then I hit my knees and everything leaves.

Everything but you, standing here with me

carrying me through this hard time

giving me what I need...life

 

I feel it hard at work everyday

I listen to every word the people say

Some I want to hate so bad,

but then I don't know what kind of life they've had.

 

Then I hit my knees and everything seems

to be about you, standing here holding me.

carrying me through this hard time

giving me what I need...

 

life brings me blocks to stumble on

stress at work, can't see my girlfriend

damn this schedule, fuck this life

those are the words that come to mind.

That is the hurt I feel inside.

Everything seems like hate,

this is what i see day to day.

The pressures on like the world's on my shoulders

God please make me what i need to be. Make me bolder.

Give me time. Help me through!

GIVE ME LIFE!!!!!

 

Now I'm on my knees and everything seems

to be about you, standing here holding me.

carrying me through this hard time

giving me what I need...

Lift me up Lord I need your help

I'm having trouble using the cards i was dealt!

Take me now, and make me more than i am!

Bring me to life again...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am a faithful Christian, but I have been in such a slump lately. I'm so over stressed that I'm pretty sure i'm a couple of cheeseburgers away from a heart attack. This is my prayer to God to give me the strength to deal with what's on my plate, and it's my prayer to ask Him to take some of it from me as well. Im not about to crack...I have already started to from the inside out. But, I'll put one foot in front of the other until i can't move anymore...God it felt good to write that out and get it off of my chest.
