Time goes on and I begin to feel much better Halting the lashes from this whip made of leather These wounds begin to heal and start forming scars Letting go of pain I walk out of this room made of bars I built this room by myself and with my mind Any and all help from others I declined Why do I enjoy all this self-loathing Covered by a mask, my emotions I don’t like showing With arms so tired from all the self-beatings Fingers still wet from all the bleeding Enough of this, my heart can take it no longer My faith in God must grow stronger Only with this can my wounds stay sealed I asked for his help and these layers of fear he has peeled Look inside yourself and dig into your soul Faith in God will warm you, no more cold Release your deepest worries and fears unto me, just let it be Together we can stop your infesting pains No more woes, no more demons swimming through your veins No more scratching, I will relieve the itching As God threads the needle and begins the stitching To Him I prayed with eyes wide shut and an open heart My scars disappeared, the sign of a fresh start Do not pick at the wound, this will only make it bleed Just pray to me, together we have planted the seed. Water the plant with tears of joy and not of sorrow Live in today, He will take care of tomorrow.
