Doubt plagues my heart A constant fog fills my mind A reason to stay planted here Is all I seek to find The days are becoming longer And it’s harder to get out of bed I feel I’m making no mark here And I may be better off dead I fight this thought daily And pray I may break through But these thoughts keep getting louder “maybe they’d be better off without you” Each morning I wake up And will myself to fight one more day I keep trying to stay strong But then forget to pray Forget that He is there And waiting to hear my plea Yet I’m so caught up in this That I forget He can set me free My fear of the fire Is the only reason I stay So, I seek any source of comfort Or means to keep these thoughts at bay See, it catches you off guard And derails any progress made You’ll be feeling fine for once And then you’re suddenly afraid Afraid to wake up And afraid to face what’s out there Afraid that today might be the day It all becomes too much to bear I crawl out of bed Put on my daily armour, ready to fight Repeat these words in hope to myself, “maybe today will be alright” Paint on a smile, comb my hair   And pretend everything is okay All the while looking for signs Whether or not I should stay
