Kearra Kramer Poet Lyric

Let's Try

Can we please put down the gun? And try to see past our noses?
We could try to live as one
It's difficult to listen rather than speak and I know this
But I also know as human beings 
Every time we look over our shoulder,
We're all looking for the same thing

We were supposed to be created in the image of perfection but we're flawed
And every day feels like an infection, but that's the law 
Of human nature
But here's a secret:
It's only as bad as you make it 

The tears are draining down your face, and you think that you are mostly dead
I know
I'm lying in the same bed
Right now

Life, so full of things you think you're drowning
There is sin and there is angels 
There's abuse and there is anger that rots inside
But underneath it all there is a layer that has been broken 
Right now it looks like it's the last straw,
But I promise it's a blessing it disguise 
And sometimes..I feel I should have just said good bye 

You're not the only one
Who has stood outside in the dead of night and screamed at the rain
Expecting an answer

But only we can answer those questions

Where is God when we look in the mirror? 
And what have we done to deserve the coffin full of lies and pain and shame that this life has shoved in the small spaces beneath our beds?
"Why can't I sleep?
What is wrong with me?
Why can't I stop dreaming of that which I need to let go?"

No bible holds any of those answers
No church or faith can restrain the human soul 
We are such complex creatures 
And we are the only ones who can give ourselves second chances
So let's try
