CRASHHHH!

The depression comes

In waves



Without warning

It comes

Surely who can save?



Me, surely the One who made

The nights

And the days



Did He not create me

For more

than despair?



Let me breathe

In this

Ocean air.



Let me feel

The numbness

That I’ve become so aware





For when nothing

Can heal me

Not even a pill



I cling to your words

And promises

So real



Because I know

That only you

Can make me feel



CRASHHH!

The emotions come

Swift like a thief



Stealing my

Bitterness

And even my grief



I open your words

So my eyes

May see





Your beauty so plain

And as clear

As day



It’s worth the

Discomfort

Its worth the pain



Because I know

There is power

When I call your name



To heal me

To break me

To shape me

And mold me



I will cling to your love

So pure and

So Holy
