Please Here Me, For All That I am


Kiss the stars, touch the sky I close my eyes, blackening all That surrounds me, silent, No words, only the voices Deep within my soul, I can hear them, anger, Sad, depressed, hurt Masking my light, And changing it to darkness, Always beside me, taking my Strength and giving me Weakness, but there’s more The beginning, the end, Doors I’ve closed have opened, A blank reflection, stares back at me, Sensitive to all, please don’t scream Don’t talk, just hear these words A call to God, A cry for Help In front of the mirror, I stand Uncomfortable, with who I am I was made from the hands of an artist, But can’t see the truth to my beauty They all, pointed, laughed, I questioned Was I truly beautiful? Please hear each thought, as it comes to life, The power I had, I gave away To the ones who craved my hurt, talked about me, Crushed my heart, turned their backs, Made me feel you were not there Listen to me that is all I ask Hear me out, for I am lost, Confused, I stand in an unfamiliar place, Asking why am I here? The trees are blocking My view, take your hands And open my eyes, I can’t see My feet before the ground I can no longer see who I am Show me my worth, give me Light and Help me to see Me, whoever I am I need to uncover the fossils, The ones that are concealed They are a reflection of me Strengthen my courage, Help me to tune out All the things I can’t control Help me to Let Go Please hear me for all that I am, Because I am not finished, This is just the beginning
