Depression opression

29 June 2024 7:39 PM

Depression is oppression 
Left over from emotional expression

Things we done and had done to
Made a wound in the heart through and through

Things not said and things that were said
And can't be undone because now they are dead

I should've I could've I would've but did not
The time is past and now is lost

How could they, why did they 
Why didn't they why couldn't they

Questions with no answers 
From the past following the here after

Dear Lord please help me forgive 
Help me let go and live

Help me understand why 
And then let it all go by

Help me smile and not frown
Pick me up from the ground

Stand me on your word
Let my spirit fly again like a bird

You said that you would not leave my soul in hell
You said when I am sick that you would make me well

I stand on your promise 
I pray in spirit honest

Have your way and your will
With your spirit please fill

Restore my soul 
And again make me whole

To live not just for me
To live in your Kingdom free
