Do you see in me what GOD sees?
Do you hear what he hears?
He sees so much more than mental illness,
paranoia, fear.
Can you empathize as GOD does
with the shadows from my past
If you looked at me with his eyes
would you see behind the mask.
I know it hurts your feelings
when I pull from your embrace,
I'm trapped, but always open
to the sadness on your face.
GOD alone knows the real me,
locked deep inside this skin
can you understand, as he does
why I cannot let you in?
Imagine the blackest darkness,
close your eyes, focus; are you there?
There are demons in the shadows,
so tread carefully, beware!
I hide here in the darkness
too afraid to venture out,
Tears frozen on my eyelids,
suppressed, can’t scream or shout.
Now imagine you're looking through GODS eyes,
can you see that little light?
It’s tiny in the darkness, do you see it?
It burns so very bright.
There’s beauty in that little light,
such love, kindness, creativity.
That little glowing pocket
in the darkness that you see?
That little glowing pocket,
is Gods 'AMAZING ME'.

I’m blessed within the shadows
by dreams of all that I could be
by dreams of all that I could be
In hope, I pray, that through ‘AMAZING GRACE’
I will one day be free.
Thank you for allowing me to share
God bless you, and all those you love

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. This is an old one... I haven't blogged in such a long time. It seems the longer I leave it, the harder it is to get back to it. I'm easing my way back online ATM, hoping the writing will follow :) I hope all is well with you and yours. Thank you for taking the time to read/comment. It's good to connect again. x
