To live broken

Have you ever felt so lost? Have you ever felt so broken?? You can’t find the words to describe the pain you feel, because they’ve never been spoken. So you learn to live with the pain because you're broken beyond repair, You can’t understand what you did so wrong, to live a life of despair. Sure there were good moments But they were so short lived, You tried and tried to be positive, Only to not be relieved. But somehow you made it this far, So it shows that you’re strong. You don't even know where it comes from, But your trails don’t last long. When you think its over Life throws something your way, Then you gotta start all over, It’s the same thing every day. It’s so hard to find joy but you gotta fake a smile That's easier than explaining what you feel so you become numb after a while. You become so good at it you sometimes believe your own lie And that keeps you going Even though you wanna die. There’s no greater pain than having to hide your reality It gets to the point where it messes your mentality. There’s no greater pain than going through it alone Until it becomes clear God’d never left you on your own. Then it starts to make sense And a tiny seed of hope begins to grow So you hold on to it tight And never let it go. Life will never be perfect, everyone faces different situations Where their faith gets tested With so many temptations. Just know a higher power Is reaching out to you with love Waiting to give you the strength you need The peace you always dream of. If you put your trust in him He can make your burdens lighter Give him all your troubles And he’ll give a new life that’s brighter. He understands how you feel, Like no one else can Just reach out to him, And hold on to his hand. He doesn't want perfection He just needs you to do your best, Then his grace is enough, To make up for the rest. He’ll love you unconditionally With a love that never ends, Just like a Father loves his children Thats where it all begins.
