For such a very long period of time
My whole life, to be more precise.
I saw no future for myself
Only obligations and unending sacrifice.

I cried myself to sleep every night
And, planned the day I would end it all.
The peace of death, the stillness of dark
I heard it always, it was my call.

I thought you couldn’t hear my cries
Or worse yet, you had no care.
Actually, I knew deep down in my soul
I didn’t deserve the love that was my share.

But, you didn’t forsake me like I believed
You were waiting for me to wake up and see.
All I had to do was come to realize
That I was worthy and set myself free.

It really is a funny thought now
The chains, they weren’t real.
Because when they were wrapped around me
I could have sworn they were made of steel.

Thank you for showing me and never giving up
I know I was so stubborn sometimes.
The prison we make can seem so real
Even though it’s all in our minds.

Awesome! Great job!

Amen

Thanks.
