Showing the Way

Alone in this house I sit,
Wondering if I have a place in this world,
Will I ever fit?
I feel so empty,
And yet so creepy.
I want to go outside and enjoy the beautiful day,
Watch my children laugh and play.
It feel to open outside,
Go in, stay out, when will I decide?
I try to focus on the prettiest flower,
Lord give me the strength and power.
I feel it start to rise in me,
The wind picks up, it's nice and breezy.
I just needed to take a step back,
And realize I'm not giving in to an attack.
I can do this,
I quietly hiss.
I will make it through the day,
Because God is beside me showing the way.
