Yesterday I Fell Down


Yesterday I fell down
No, not physically but spiritually
I felt like I could not live any more, I felt like nothing great was in store
I felt like I was here just to be alone, I felt pain down to my bones
I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe it was actually me
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me"
Is a lie we tell ourselves to break away from the truth
The truth is that words will sometimes hurt you
So yeah yesterday I fell down
No, I didn't get myself back up
God did
God blessed me with the strength to live again
God taught me not to live for me but to live for him and everyone who loves me
God removed the depression, God stopped the squall of the hurricane from blowing my soul away
Yesterday I fell down
Thank you God for not allowing that fall to put me out
