Are you holding on? Just by a thread
My life is taken and my heart is dead
Each breath I take, a strain for life
Each time I fall, a slip in strife
Pain is taking a powerful hold
This life they live, I don't fit the mold
Distanced, an outcast, forgetting my name
No one to hold onto, no love is the same
Picking myself up, an arduous task
Wanting it to end, how long must it last?
Stripped and beaten, broken from pain
Left on the side-lines, my heart is detained
Lying here on the floor I bleed
Lost in the endless whispers, I need
"You're not good enough... worthless to me"
"You're broken and lost, you'll never be free"
The voices, they whisper deceit and their lies
Can I be free? May I see through Your eyes?
Lift me and carry me up from this gloom
This terrible trap I fear is my doom
Your love and mercy is what I yearn for
To feel hope and feel grace and know I am more
More than this earthly state I am in
Bound to be free of the hurt and the sin
-Mitchell Linford Clark
