God Help Me

An inner voice is telling me
To take off these headphones,
Yet listening to these songs:
So soothing to my soul.

It's even telling me
To stop looking into this screen…
Oh how long it's been when I first agreed
In having this fascinating world
Be my mindful sanctuary.

I'm left all alone now, away from Home,
If only His presence were
Inside of these mere things.

Delving within what is supposedly darkness,
I feel as if I subconsciously still
Hold the lamplight of Him in my heart.

Tears bring me to Him, I cry and cry,
Yet no longer did I feel a presence
Of Arms holding me as I lay
In all my cries of loneliness.

An inner voice ss telling me to let go
And give my emotion to Him.
He truly functioned our tears
To eventually release
A fleeting form of joy.

It's even telling me
To give up all my curiosities.
Yet all I want is for Him to watch over me
And to be there, to be a forgiving Father.
