Tossing and turning as I lie on my bed But all these voices are screaming in my head Stop! Please stop! I want to sleep. Slowly, subtly, all these thoughts linger and creep.
Voices of the past saying, 'You can't make it.' Voices of failure saying, 'Not outstanding. Go back and sit.'
Lies of the enemy are clouding my brain Without God, by now, I'd be insane. I'm remembering my mistakes and all Unpleasant memories, they make me feel small.
My mind is a battlefield But my victory has been sealed I know I'll get through this Because He is faithful. I am His.
The voices I'd "hear" were not audible. They were racing thoughts that were so overwhelming. I felt like they were screaming at me.
I wrote this poem 4 days after I was diagnosed with clinical depression. Wow, I did get through it. What a faithful God.
