I Am

I am

Don't hurt me 
I'm not strong 
Don't hurt me 
it hurts so long 
I can't defend myself 
I'm far too weak
I give my hand
feeling meek 
A gentil hand 
is all I need
I bring no harm 
I beg and plead 
I may not make it 
very far 
please don't leave me 
I've ventured far
When you remember 
your deeds feel worn
Its my soul 
tattered and torn
Then one day when 
you see light
Can you say 
you did it right
It's not me 
that is to judge
And I'm not yours
I am my God's
