Lost Poem by Ms Thang

Lost in a pit of bitterness and pain
consumed in a blanket of guilt and shame
eyes covered by the lies unable to see
the beauty or strength that lies within me
overwhelmed and overworked most of my life
now spending every day trying to make it right
I toss and I turn haunted by the feelings within
wishing I could be like other women
Lord, i can't do this alone
you are the only key to open my happy home
i look out the peep hole and see joy outside
but between joy and fear it's up to me to decide
can you open my eyes rejuvenate my sight?
Pull me out of the darkness into the light?
Help me to rebuke the lies whispered in my ear
and as fear pushed me away - continue to draw me near
my brown frowns as my mouth turns down
and i fight with theses demons that seem to surround
i don't have the strength to fight them tonight.
lord pull me out of their grasp and into the light
remind me - show me - who i am within you
help me to differentiate between lies and the truth
i'm tired of being tired of constantly struggling
i'm tired of shedding tears and ready to sing.
Lord for tonight grant me a peace within
help me to rest in you and reject the sin
hold me tonight make me feel safe and secure
replace thoughts of fear with thought true and pure
ease my heart and relax my mind
hold my hand and help me unwind
help me wake feeling refreshed and rejuvenated
feeling complete and whole not hurt and aggravated

Amen
