Dear God, Hear My Cries

You say fear not, for I am with you

But I've been alone for days on end

Bleached white walls surround but never give

In my current state I stop believing in you,

In me, in everything I once had

I relinquish, I offer to the universe

Everything you created for me

Hemispheres are dead weight

On the blades of my shoulders

And my legs quiver under their truth

I cannot take this any longer

Take it back, I opt out

I am truly not your strongest soldier

I cannot bear this quest, this trial by fire

Let me out, I give up

You lied to me, did you not

Never more than I can handle

Be still, I am with you,

Where are you in these moments alone

Where are you when six feet below

Feels like home

Not here, not by my side

Dear God, hear my cries

The darkness is eating me alive
