I remember how I used to feel
Lying, curled up, dark pain spreading inside me
Tears raking my body
Sadness taking over like it will never leave
Filled with hopelessness
Feeling abandoned
And I don’t know why I ever did.
Things got bad, but not bad enough
For the way I felt
I’m happy that I’m better now
Better, not because of any stupid shrinks
People paid to pretend to care about your problems
Then tell everyone about them, illicitly
No, that didn’t help dull the pain
Instead I offered it up
And had it taken away
By the most powerful being in the universe,
Who loves me,
And I know He will always stay
