The Guilt Trip

The Guilt Trip When I was young I had bad acne & would often skip school Every time I looked in the mirror I would always see someone ugly Sadness broke my heart in two then the loneliness set in Now where do I even begin to think that it wasn't me The accuser of the brethren struck me deep to the heart that would light A flame that would stir inside the fragile imagination of my brain With tempers of fire through family & friends Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow Shadows plunged in mere desolation getting lost On a trip on some far away vacation prone to desolation Perhaps this was how Kurt Cobain felt before he ended it all Satan has a way of disguising some bad by presenting it as being good Another day in the hood falling for the guilt trip out of step Now you will do as you are told until the rights to you are sold One day I would soar like an eagle to the land of never more The next I would run off to help settle an even score When the devil is knocking at your heart's door have Jesus open the other side We have no good reason by which to run away and hide cause In the end we overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb you all understand There is a single line being drawn in the sand let's cooperate with the plan God's love for us is the eternal constant amidst the insecurities of your daily walk with him !
