Whispers of Struggle

One day every tribe, every tongue, every nationWill proclaim His name, the foundation of salvation.He is the way, the truth, and the life,Who died and rose, defeating all strife.He’s Lord, and Savior, we all should proclaim,It’s never too late to call on His name.No sin too great that He won’t forgive,Repent and believe, and through…

I’m sorry I tried,I’m sorry I lied,I’m sorry I was late,I’m sorry for the hate,I’m sorry I was mad,I’m sorry I made you sad,I’m sorry what I did was cruel,I’m sorry I am just a fool,I’m sorry I forgot,I’m sorry for what I sought,I’m sorry for never being enough,I’m sorry that this is always tough,I’m…

When I was just a child, eight or nine,No phone in hand, no screen to bind,I watched as friends would scroll away,But I was free to run and play.I felt uncool, maybe a little ashamed,  And Dad was always the one I blamed.  I was afraid I’d miss out on what was trending, what was cool,But now…

Always be careful about what you say,For words can leave scars that won’t fade away.They may forgive you for the things that you’ve done,But those words will linger, like smoke from a gun.

You can’t control what life sends your way,But how you deal with it is yours to say.The storms might come, but it’s your decision to stand,Strength is in your heart, not just in your hand.

Even though you lied, broke me, stole, and hurt in ways I can’t explain,If you were dying, with only one chance to ease your pain,I would still drink the poison.

They hurt you deep, then shift the blame,Dodging guilt to avoid the shame.They’ll twist every word, make you feel like the fool,As if it was you who broke every rule.But you’re not the one who broke it all,Don’t let their words make you feel small.You stand strong, don’t play their game,You know the truth, they…

There’s this emptiness that is hard to ignore,like something’s gone that was there before.But I still hold on tight to all that is gone,scared to let go, scared to move on.

If you were still here, the world wouldn’t feel wrong,The days would be brighter, the nights not so long.Your smile would fix what feels broken inside,And there’d be no need to hide the tears that were cried.The jokes would still come, the ones no one gets,Secrets could be shared, no fears, no regrets.The things that…

Sitting on my bathroom floor,Crying, I can’t take this anymore.Not to me—no, never to me—But behind my back, doing it so easily.Not gonna lie, it messed with my head,Changed the way I see myself instead.Now when I look in the mirror, it’s clear to see,A big ego, death-bringing nobody.
