I know that trusting me
is hard for you.
Especially because
I bear the characteristics
of so many other women
that broke your heart
Repetitively causing
you to fear love
And when you get
just beneath the surface
You begin to tremble
So hard
That your breath escapes you
So hard that the room turns black
And you lose all sense of
Space and time
And you’re not sure
Whether you are
Dead or alive
Because surely
This is what death feels like
To fear
Death feels like breathing
And to fear
Life feels like death
A never ending hell
That you can not escape
Fear
Holds you down in your pit
And laughs as you frantically
try to escape
But you can’t
Because the walls
Though rugged enough
To create false hope
Are not smooth enough
Those ****** walls
Full of desperation
And claw marks
too smooth
To grip
Leaving you on a
never ending roller coaster
Between hope and defeat
You want to get off
But you’re stuck
And afraid
How long have you been this way?
How long have you been fighting?
How long have you been
Without hope?
Long enough that
when hope presents itself
You get afraid
And run away?
Fear conditions us
It brainwashes us
And teaches us to believe
That we will never
CAN
NEVER
be free
But God
But God and his infinite wisdom
Infinite love.
Infinite peace and power
Reaches for us
Wanting so fiercely
To save us from the strong grip
Of fear
He reaches for us
With tears rolling
Down his beautiful face
Pleading for us
Just to reach back
Just a little bit
Promising us
Power over anything
That causes us to fear
Love that conquers
ALL and NEVER Fails
And peace
That goes beyond
All understanding
Look up!
See His Light
Grab
His
hand
He wants to pour out
Freedom over you
He wants to pour out
Love over you
God longs to
heal
you
All you have to do
Is reach your hand out to Him
And He will rescue you
Fear is defeated
It’s chains are falling off of me
Say it out loud with me
Fear
Is
Defeated
It’s chains
Are falling
Off of me
