Resurrection

I'm dead inside and losing my faith

consumed by my sins

and a lust to fly away

Hell's fire grows hotter and still I can't cry

till a bloody tear

spews forth from my eye

And the moon used to guide me, but now it's gone dim

like the stars that stopped shining

they're hiding from Him

and I'm dancing around in a wirlwind of pain

escaping and running

from a poisonous rain

of troubles and ignorance-racism, too

and I can't hold my breath or my lips will turn blue

will somebody help me and whisk me away

to somewhere that's happy, a brighter place

Why can't you hear me?

I'm screaming so loud

my last chance of hope is consumed by a cloud

of deception and lust and a big masquerade

of someone who cares and lends me fake aid

then laughs in my face as I fall on the floor

writhing in pain

I can't take annymore

so he takes out his kinfe-lie to finsh the task

as my momvement slows down he can't help but ask,

Do you love me now, or is hate all you feel?

I can't say a word

I just struggle to kneel

and I look in his eyes and see nothing at all

just cold glassy eyes

an expressionless doll

and I finally smile and stand up with pride

I sear on my soul he cannot see me die

so to answer his question I spit in his face

I thank God I've been saved by amazing grace

and I walk out the door

feeling so alive

and I laugh because now I can finally cry

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I still love this one...hopefully it is mostly self-explanitory...
