My struggle has created for me an illusion
A world where I thought I could be fulfilled
Chasing this emptiness caused me confusion
Every attempt to follow the light was Killed

For every year the secrets have increased
This has kept my heart and soul frowning
Fighting alone I could not stop the beast
My Kept secrets felt like moments from drowning

As I begin to battle out of these thoughts
No longer standing against these lies alone
The truth is freeing me as the grip of the enemy rots
having to release me as I am at the foot of God’s throne

There will be battles that will cause pain
These wounds will seem like they will not heal
Be thankful for our Lord’s eternal reign
Jesus on the cross for us sealed the deal

Moments from drowning cause much fear
We can feel the screams as our soul cries out
Never have we felt the wind of death so near
Every wrong seems so real with no doubt

It is as we breakthrough the surface of the water
Inhaling deeply in our lungs the freedom of God’s air
We are His beloved not lambs to the slaughter
This humbles me as I fall to my knees in prayer

Amen
