Being human is hard

I know being human is hard
With all of our wounds and our scars
It’s hard to face our problems and mistakes
Often thinking we don’t have what it takes
To silence the demons and put them to bed
Feeling lost and trapped inside our own head
Crying out to God to throw us the keys
Broken and bruised down on bended knees
Reaching for the ones that witness it all
Hoping they will be there to catch us as we fall
But only we have the power to stand up at all
Only we have the power to answer that call

Enjoyed you deep, soulful musings, Amber. The answers lie within, discovered in the void of thought rested silence.
