Backed up against a wall of anxiety and frustration
Daily bewildered by the dismal onslaught of life
Swallowed by horrendous mental images
Strikingly keeping us subjected through fright
Strapped and paralyzed by inadequacies and rejection
Running for cover without any feet
Further imprisoned by vain, thoughtless speech
Utterances delivered on life's silver sheets
Narrow tunnels, not a flicker of light
Blindly groping at anything in sight
Money, success, a job, or someone
Heart pounding loudly, overpowering mind
Fatigued and depressed by yesterday's thrills
Dominant addictions, mild dosage of pills
Astounding, racing thoughts, and long sleepless nights
Pleading with God, Didn't seem like He heard
Blank distanced stares, conversations all warped
Searching for love while humanity jeers
Unanswered questions distorted perception
Of every good thing that others behold
Doorways all shut , all access denied
Condemnation prances too permissively
Doubt, guilt and sorrow parades all around
Eroding our self worth, as hatred abounds
Hopeless and wounded, angered within
Searching for God through neighbors and kin
Advertised secrets, shame now sets in
Inviting mistrust to live like a King
Stallions all mounted, with switchblade and knife
Obstructing calmness, fortified walls
Locked in a dark room, away from ourselves
Can't feel the sunlight, drowning in sin
Sickness awaits us, devours flesh
There are no answers to save from death
Abandoned by mankind, by thoughts in our minds
Final chance taken again and again
We open our torn heart to someone again
Surprised to discover the healing it brings
Confessing great promise, Rebuking all fear
Experience the true love, forgiveness from sin
Applying our broken hearts to wisdom divine
Of God's good intentions, his goodness endures
The devil's a liar, a certified thief
A set up con artiste, on your mind he'll feast
Confufling man's mind to match his sick plans
Accusing The Father of evil not known
To chain us to darkness , he knows it's his own
Reframe all wrong thinkings that welcome his ills
Accept human weakness, forgive it's His will
Ask God to reveal the truth in all things
Give and receive love without any strings.
