It grips the innermost part of my soul,
It burns making me feel unwhole.
Makes me do things I know are wrong.
How has this gone on so long?
Sometimes I want it all to end.
I feel alone and without a friend.
This loneliness is tearing me apart,
It hurts so badly; it’s breaking my heart.
I feel like I can’t take it anymore.
This pressure is starting to wear me sore.
It’s hard to go on feeling this way.
Is there any point for me to stay?
Then at the moment when I want to end it all,
I hear a sweet voice so gently call.
“I love you my child, more than words can say”,
That is when my heart begins to sway.
My God has spoken to my heart so true,
And helped, in my darkest hour, to see me through.
He helps me know that I am loved,
By people on Earth and Him above.
