Deep Pain
In the saturated Pain
grappling bone deep
from skin cuts
To words slicing
into my brain,
I drown in the silent
screams of my soul,
Apathy drifts
strangling
hopes and possibilities,
I hear of an amazing love
and it shines,
I hear Jesus is good, so good
I somehow know
a Soul calling,
but it still seems
a nightmare reach away,
an impossible journey,
how could I start
to believe,
in a room
Of those who have found
this real love,
How could it be for me?
Hard and dark
stark chalk outlines of my body
rising from the concrete floor.
I am living dead.
Jesus
Can I try you?
Yet I know that's not enough
Jesus
Can I believe?
Can I dare?
Can I trust?
To give you the whole
Of me.
In me...
Jesus.
I give my dark
I give my confusion,
My heart
My despair
My hopes
asking for Your breath
to turn my heart,
Towards Jesus
Towards the Way, Truth, Life
Towards the new,
Thanking for total forgiveness
Thanking for amazing love,
I am free to be me
Free to give.
