He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives

Trigger Warning

June 10, 2001

Confusion reigns inside my mind
The peace I had I can not find
Unsettling feelings of despair
As evil whispers in my ears.

No longer free of oppressive fear
Inside I fight to stop my tears.
Can I really win this fight?
Or once again, I lose my rights?

I must keep going
Through failure and pain
My journey of healing
Will not be in vain.

Was I really born for this-
To be used in such a way?
I search for a reason why...
Each and every day.

I used to hold them back...
I fought with all my might.
She died, and I gave up.
I lost my will to fight.

To weak to go on...
What was I to do?
Couldn’t stand the hurt and pain...
the torment I went through.

Please, God, please, can you hear my cries?
the same ones I prayed before...
Can you please just let this body die?
Before soul and spirit are no more?

It seems my prayers are never heard
So lost and so confused.
Please, God, listen to my heart...
So hopeless and so used.
