God Saw My Distress and Healed Me Part 1

Everything changes right before my eyes Just leave me be for a time…go hang out with your buddies I wish there was a prescription for my type of depression The aching sensation churned in my stomach… I was about to vomit…and I reminded myself that I wasn’t alone But, God is looking after me There’s something really wrong with me I seemed to be in a phase of depression Isolated in a new school I call “home” The lights are off And I have no vanity in my heart I haven’t cried since a few months ago I sometimes get so perturbed I don’t have to feel sorry for myself I know that God will fight my battles… But I got to put a stop to my bad habits... I need to stop throwing my tantrums…my childish fits I just got to fight Even though I have many fears that corrupt my mind I got to keep driving that road of recovery God, save me from my unsatisfying misery… I promise I’ll clean up my debris…if only He could shed some glee And allow my mind to rest on a comforting pillow I feel so alone, But I know my friends from school are concerned about me God has set me free… And apprehension zips past my mind I’m like a blind crossing the street, not knowing where he is going And still, I type out these words… Soon, they’ll be meaningless Soon, He’ll pull me out of the abyss I prayed to Him for some guidance I was haunted by untraceable voices in my head And now…I’m blinded by the light and I kiss dread I see familiar faces glance at me I forget their names…but I wave at them But, I won’t let my downfalls tear me down I won’t let myself shred into useless shards I wish I could grow wings and fly away The day is gone; the night has captured my eyesight I have no clue why I have the hearts for the night… There’s absolutely no reason to feel the showers of anguish But, I would like to request a special wish
