I Didn'T Realize It Happened

I’m fighting for my life
I had courage at first
I had strength

My faith was strong
I had lots of confidence
Years later I woke up to

A life fill with hate
From jealous eyes and faces
Coming from all directions

My strength began to weaken
My faith was challenge
I had begun to lose my self-confidence

My problems seem to overpower me
And me not knowing
Where to turn

I didn’t realize when it happened
Until I began to look over my life
I tried to figure out where I went wrong

I never notice
That through the years
It had even happened to me

I’m feeling crushed and
Pushed pass my limit
A limit that’s too much for one person

Why should I bare this
Undeserving pain
Undeserving sulfuring

I began to look pass some things
And saw all the good 
God had done for me

So I pushed pass
The darkness
Into the light
He began to bless me
Because of my fight
And my trying times

My life made a
One hundred degree turn 
Out of the darkness into the light
