Strong for somebody else

My personal PAIN, swallow it, swallow it.
Gotta be strong for somebody else, so sick of having to be strong for myself, fighting an everyday battle…watching you each and every day on social media being held up like some GOD ..  

My personal battle each and every single day, living beneath your hallow at church.. seeing you soak up all the glory, while we sit in the pew, thus voice in my head, telling me we’re not good enough..

If you only knew the pain that I feel non stop  in my heart, my personal Hell, I carry it, put my pain in a pill, I swallow it, swallow it.  I’ve got to be strong for somebody else..

I’ll go out and be a beggar outside where the rejects sit,  looked down on but the rich and privileged.  Only if you could see what I see on the streets..  you trying to save the world with your righteous heart, Forgive me My majesty for 
 not living up to your Righteous self.


Don’t mind me, I’ll just go exit thus church.., your majesty.   Go save the world Jesus.

Leave me alone.   You don’t have time for me in your life with our savior.   Are you feeling wonderful this morning  after standing in HIS midst yesterday morning?

I’ll bow down to you.. I’m not worthly.   I’m not worthly..  

I’m so sick of hearing about my family’s pain,   I’m invisible to thus world.

I’ve had it.
