Running Away From Evil
Running Away From Evil
One night I was sitting in my bed,
I was miserable, lonely, disgusted, and I was craving for a miracle.
I looked at the ceiling with distress and depression,
wondering if God was going to help guide me in the right direction.
I hated myself, I didn’t have much of self-confidence or I couldn’t define myself.
Who am I? Why am I here? Why I’m not like everyone else.
I waited and waited for answers, pleading God to give me peace.
I wasn’t strong or built for this, but the only person that could believe in me was me.
I forced my eyes shut so that I could only see the dark night.
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was white,
Where is this coming from? What should I do?
When I’m steady trying to run further and further away from you.
One night I was sitting in my bed,
I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t think about tomorrow, I was raged with underwhelmed.
The night was extremely cold, I needed much more protection, and
I was so uncareful with my actions, it caused much tension.
I just couldn’t take the pressure, laying there knowing I would miss my opportunity,
because I know that one day we would join together again in unity.
Where are you when I need you?
I’m not perfect, but am I the only person that truly believe in me?
I forced my eyes shut so that I could only see the dark night.
When I opened my eyes again, all I saw was white,
Where is this coming from? What should I do?
When I’m steady trying to force my way back to you.
One night I was sitting in my bed,
I was slowly fading away and the pain had took over me.
It hurted so bad that didn’t nobody appear to truly notice me.
I wanted to raise up and quote “May I have one more chance please?”,
but that wasn’t going to solve anything between us.
I couldn’t think about the reasons why I wanted to stay here,
but I knew someone needed me, and needed me fast.
I wasn’t ready to go, no God I wasn’t ready to go!
This time when I forced my eyes shut and I could only see my new home.
When I closed my eyes for the last time, all I saw was black,
I knew this tragedy was over, no hope, just the sign of completion.
I wasn’t worried though, God only gives you so many chances to get your life together.
However, I didn’t agree with his decisions, but now I have no choice but to deal with his.
