Soul Shifter
I step out of myself, it's the only way,
To escape the memories of the anguish and pain,
My focus shifts to you, replenishing love,
I can no longer feel the sting your beatings have caused,
The stubborn numbness you inflict upon me, in my silence you can't hear,
My heart bleeding loves purpose, My soul takes me there,
With every blow you throw at me, the deeper I go,
I let you believe that your in control,
You can't look into my eyes, because your too busy inflicting,
You can't see past my pain, because you still think that your winning,
The tears I shed are no longer mine,
They are brought to my God for you the whole time,
Don't act like you know me, because surely you don't,
When I fall to my knees your abuse has no hold.
