Forgot How To Walk

Help me God, I’m lost

Contemplation alone won’t save me

So again I come to you, Lord

With another desperate inquiry

As I follow the path you’ve paved for me

I see testing marks at every mile

But what I’ve overlooked ‘til now

Is the distance between the crucial trials 

What do I do when the road gets smoother

When I’ve acclimated to pain

When my hard work finally shows progress

And I benefit from my gains?

Lord, I need to rest

But I’m too anxious to sleep

All these emotions hurting my soul

But I’m too prideful to weep

I’ve been running for so long

For too long, perhaps

Lord please slow me down

Before I collapse

Please teach me how to walk again

‘Cause dammit I forgot how

My drive has taken over

And I alone can’t slow it down

Yes, my goals are sighted

Yes, my purpose is my grind

But I may soon explode

God, please help me unwind

My wounds need to recover

I need more time on the clock

I’ve been running for so long

Lord, I forgot how to walk
