I am bleeding out from old wounds nobody sees No comfort ever brings comfort to me My broken mind and shattered heart Have tried my whole life to tear me apart feeling lost and lonely and scared because none of my family ever cared I was their burden - I was their shame I was the one whom they couldn't speak the name So they turned their backs to forget what they've done They took the meaning from my life and thought that they won As long as I am breathing I am living proof that they lost As long as I keep going forward no matter the cost I will let go and banish the demons they gave me And let Christs' healing be what will save me So I am not lost, though they led me astray The blind leading blind - Well God gave me my sight today So I could see clearly the webs of deceit That bound my heart mind, hands and my feet I can see through their whispered millions of lies the part of me that perpetuates them - well today that part dies I need to limit the voices circling in my mind to shut out the hurtful - only hear what is kind I need to hand over control to God - Who made me I need to render spirit from flesh to set myself free I will crucify the part of me that wants me dead I will rise from those ashes and walk where angels have tread I was created to be more than the sum of my trauma -The sum of the worlds endless lies When I come up on top - they will all be surprised Healing takes time so I will take it slow and soon I know the progress will show.
