Agony Within

I locked myself away today
So no one else sees the pain
And bash my head against the wall
To halt the voices in my brain

I smash the smirk within the mirror
But theres still laughter in the air
My knuckles cut from broken glass
But Im just lost in a stagnant stare.

People cant see inside these four walls
Once i shut the doors to the world outside
They dont hear the screams at shadows
They cant see the closets where i hide.

Tears rain down my withered face
But cant wash away the scars and pain
I want to rip my heart from me
And place it where it will never feel again

I cry out for Gods grace and mercy
If he has some put aside for me
Come heal this broken heart and mind
And set my broken spirit free.

God's grace is amazing! Many people doubt their worth, but your value is not based on anything you are or can do, but the blood offering He has given out of love for you. Let Him be your comfort through the Psalms. Poetic hugs, Juliet.
