Why.
God, why have I been put in this position?
Why have I been here screaming, crying for help?
I see all these people around me.
Some hear me. Some see my pain.
But I can't change.
I go back and forth in my mind for days.
I have support, I'm strong enough, but I just...can't.
God, I know I haven't come to you,
Except in times like this
Please forgive me Lord
I know Your grace can save me.
Yet again I ask:
Why is my sadness marked upon my body?
Why does my image force me to do things I could regret?
How did I slip this far?
I can't see the light, the walls are caving in.
How is there still air, how am I still living?
Through You.
It must be.
There must be a reason.
I see light now, but only a crack.
I reach for it with all I have, but it's always too far.
The light gets more and more tempting ever second.
I reach for it more and more.
Yet the more I reach, the farther away it seems.
God, who am I?
Who is this person that has consumed me?
Certainly not the person you created.
You are the light, and I am a plant, reaching towards you, giving me faith and life.
Does this road have no end?
Does the yellow brick road come?
I must ask myself.
I must give myself to You.
I must not let myself simply grow towards You, but pull myself closer to You.
I still only see a hair of light.
Maybe someday I'll grow strong enough to pull myself to you...
Out of this hole...For good.
