Sunscreen

This is a reflection of how it felt to be caught inside a depression last year...luckily, I broke free of that awhile back but for some reason, the inspiration for this came suddenly and quickly tonight, so here it is.

This veil surrounds me
A smoky sunscreen
A lie firmly in place
I can see you through it
But it's so hard to prove it
That I could really be here
Breathing gets so hard behind
This fog choking me
So I step back and away
And you, oh you, can no longer see me

Locked away inside this heart
Where did he hide that key?
So tired now, can't fight somehow
But love, I want you to see
Find me please, rip away this shroud
Because I love you so deeply
I can't show you here
It's chained away I fear
And my voice is captured beneath

I don't care if I can't breathe
I'm pounding down this door
This place can no longer have me
I'm fighting till I've got no more
Please don't leave; I can't wait to break free
And show you the woman you love was here all along
Once seized by darkness' hands
I grab hold of God's mighty love
And shatter the lock as my heart expands

Oh it feels so good to be free
He no longer has a grip on me
I treasure each moment I feel my heart beat
Because a life without love shining through
A soul without faith
And a body without strength
Is heartbreaking in every way
But now I'm flying, truly soaring
And I hope one day, you'll look up and see.
