“It’s what I believe, it doesn’t exist”
I heard his hurt and felt my eyes mist
His faith was shaken his belief undermined
And I needed words I just couldn’t find
Sometimes it seems to keep silent is wise
Better none than misguided advice
He’d sought God’s grace to ease his pain
How he’d gone wrong he just couldn’t explain
Temptation too strong- willpower too weak
He needed help didn’t know where to seek
All that he’d worked for was lost at that time
Paying the price but not committing a crime
So easy for some- for others a fight
It’s not not always easy to know what is right
To feed the hunger or feel the pain
Knowing anytime you may fall once again
Asking for assistance- swallowing pride
Trying to explain how it feels inside
Having to rely on others to help
Make choices you can’t make for yourself
Having to wake up dreading each day
Knowing somehow that there must be a way
To get out of the habit and break the chains
And try to find peace in God’s love once again
