Sitting in the dark
Trapped inside yourself
You wondering what is happening.
You wonder who,
or what,
Is controlling you.
Why am I doing this to myself?
I know I want to stop,
So why can't I?
What is it inside of me,
That keeps saying I'm fine?
I'm dying in here.
Why can't I control myself?
I'm wandering within,
Lost,
While something else controls my life.
Why am I locked inside?
Why don't I have any control?
This is my life!
How come something else,
Is choosing the path?
Why is there this little girl,
Locked in a dark room?
She can see out,
And she yells and yells,
But no one hears her.
'Someone help me!' you cry,
Yet no sound come's out.
Why is this room shrinking?
Why is my world getting smaller and smaller?
Can't anyone stop this?
Can't anyone help me?
Can anyone hear me?
Does anyone care?
Then you hear a gentle voice
"I love you," It says
"And I always have"
'Where are you?'
You cry.
"I'm at the door"
'Why haven't you come in and let me out?'
You ask, hurt.
"Because you haven't invited me in"
Then you see the one Man who can help you.
In His hands are the marks of nails
His side is marked by the spear.
'But you can't care about me' you say.
'I'm dirty. I'm a bad girl!'
"No you're not" He says gently,
As He picks you up.
"You are my precious child,
And I have always loved you.
Turn to me,
And I will give you the strength to deal with the pain.
I will help you through this,
And when times are at their worst,
I will carry you,
And let you cry on me.
For I want you to be happy,
As the look of a smile on your face
Is one of the most precious things
That I have ever seen."
So then, slowly,
You give your cares to Him
And you feel a wonderful peace
That passes description.
You know that you still have to go through this
But now you have someone along who loves you
And knows what you're going through,
And can give you the strength you need.
