The world has me bound in chains of emotion,
I’m crying so much it’s like I froze in motion.
I’m being labeled for the things I lack,
Struggling daily by constant attacks.

I become fragile, so crippled in hurt,
Backstabbing friends just throw me in dirt.
I feel like just giving up with life,
While holding my hand up, grasping the knife.

I had allowed myself to go this far of a distance,
But was stopped by a man who offered assistance.
He told me I have a better life for you,
All you have to do is get up and choose.

I felt his affection and love for me,
But I had asked him, through my troubles where was he?
His answer gave me a feeling of regret,
Because I was one that he didn’t forget.

He said that when I fell in dirt,
I ran away binding all the hurt.
He was there to help me,
But I had ran away and his works I had overseen.
He said when I was stuck in motion,
I hid my face afraid and lacking devotion.
He wanted me to see his face,
But I refused because I thought I was a disgrace.

But he would not allow me to end my life so bound,
He said he took away my pain, for his grace is abound!
Even though I refused him and his words I neglected,
He still continued to love me and kept me fully protected.

I had forgotten how much Jesus admires,
Because I was so caught up in worldly desires.
The Enemy came at me with an attempt to intrigue,
And he had me stumble into an extreme fatigue.

I now know my course of action,
To fight the darkness and worldly interactions.
For we have our sword for our protection,
And God will lead us in the right direction.
