Its dark<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m scared<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know how to explain this feeling<\/p>\n
One person on my right<\/p>\n
Another on my left<\/p>\n
They begin to pull in opposite directions<\/p>\n
As if I was a doll that two kids were fighting over<\/p>\n
I feel the desires of my life swelling in my heart<\/p>\n
I also feel my fears and desperation<\/p>\n
They are surrounding me<\/p>\n
They are trying to consume me.<\/p>\n
Why do I have to go through this?<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t there be a sparkle of hope<\/p>\n
I want to trust and know<\/p>\n
Yet I doubt and cower<\/p>\n
God<\/p>\n
I need you<\/p>\n
I am crying for you to comfort me<\/p>\n
Hold me in your arms<\/p>\n
Reach down and save me from myself<\/p>\n
I am not giving up or giving in<\/p>\n
I am simply giving it to God<\/p>\n
He is the only one who can take this<\/p>\n
He is the only one who can fill this emptiness<\/p>\n
He can surround me in His love<\/p>\n
He can take care of me<\/p>\n
I am not alone<\/p>\n
God<\/p>\n
You are the only one<\/p>\n
The light in my darkest moment<\/p>\n
You are the one<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
