Saved
"Here it is...
Darkness closes in
They say 'be happy'
Where do I begin?
I guess therapy
But how will that end?
Will it work?
Can I go forever?
Will they make me stop?
Zoloft, lexapro, seratonin reuptakes
Here take these
And put on a happy face
Am I missing something?
Is this how life should be?
Taking drugs for life
Cause I don't feel happy
Photographers say 'smile'
I mean I can
But I'm in denial
I'm simply not a fan
Prison, jail
Life behind bars
That's depression's tale
Everything dim, even the stars
Every day is halloween
Always wearing a mask
Me, looking so pristine
Such a tiring task
But then...
The light shown through
He said 'you're mine'
I belong to you?
But I don't shine
'I will not leave you, never'
He is working in me
His love endures forever
I was blind but now I see
Devotions, fellowship, constant prayer
'Come to me, come just as you are'
Looking back, He was ALWAYS there
He never let me stray too far
I WAS missing something
NOW this is how life should be
My heart is full and I sing
He was and is and always will be there for me
No longer a fake smile
I know I can
No more denial
I am forever a fan
Church, Heaven
Life AFTER the cross
Jesus won
Sin and darknes lost
Everyday is new
Smilin', just 'cause
Every word true
Love. Does.
