You

When survival seems the only option the obvious path seems so clear
She can walk down the street, her head held high, but in her distant eyes, lingers fear
People, they can’t mock her they can’t tell her what to do
But sure, there words can sting, dark cold lies from that crew

They wish upon her death scratching lies by her name
Saying things, she knows ain’t true, only adding to her shame
The thin cuts all up her arm? “Just a way to deal” she’ll calmly say
Even though she’s well aware it’s an excuse and there always is another way

“Your life is way to short” I look in her eyes and I scream
But it won’t change her mind, her futures already faded to a dream
“Life’s not worth living, I’m tired, I’m cut down, and they don’t want me here
It’s too late to save me, and besides why would you care?”

The hardness, called her heart, wrapped in thorns and pretty ties
That kept everybody out giving her space to listen to her lies
Her thorns now cut my hands as I reach in blood pouring from my vein
She screams “It hurts, let go all you cause me is more pain”

I won’t let go! My hand is reaching out for hers.
I say “I love you” as she spews at me her angry slurs
“My dear don’t do this, your precious can’t you see?
I made you for so much more than they say you could be”

She twists and pulls, leaving scars in my hands, she cursed
She’s overwhelmed and scared her emotions preparing to burst
Everything she wanted everything she thought being tested she’s falling to her knee
The hatred that she’s felt never letting her be free

She’s confused and lashing out, and going back to what is “safe”
But her mental battle hasn’t ended and there still is no relief
Her time is set, or so she hopes, she is ready for her grave
“You just lie, and I can’t trust, me you’ll never get to save”

“But darling don’t you see, look at me, and tell me I don’t care
My love for you is treasured, precious, and one that is so rare
No sea can measure; no mind could imagine just how much to me you mean
I’ve never left you, I’m always here, but you refuse to let that seen

Scared of hurt lack of trust, I’ll never let you go
Curse my name, cut me deeper, but my love will always show
I knew you before your birth and loved you just the same
I knew your every thought, I knew your fears, I even knew your name


You’re always on my mind held in my hand I hold you tight
Even though you run, for you, I’ll never give up this fight
You’re beautiful, you’re lovely, my daughter it’s not your time
Don’t do this; I love you, Even though it hurts to climb

This mountains high so steep, but the top is drawing near
Hold on, I’m with you; I have always made that clear
You’re unique; you’re wonderful, far more precious than any stone
You don’t belong to this world, so what they say, you don’t own!

Come to me, my hands outstretched, I’m calling you to live
Your life in me is freedom, and to you want to give
Just call my name, and let me in, for beauty you were made
Give me all your hurts and fears, trust me, you have no reason to be afraid”

She looks at me with tears in her eyes, a glisten that’s never been
“I want that” and with that death simply could not win
Her face now filled with joy she tells others her story clearly
Of a savior who is there and always loved her dearly

“Take my past take my future, Take my thoughts take my all
I’m so tired of this world that keeps building up this wall
No more separation you are real you are here
Your love for me is so immense that I can feel when you are near

No more hiding no more running I lay it at the cross
I give it all to to you I want you to be the boss
The razor was held against my vein when everything was dark
But because of what you said it couldn’t leave its mark

It’s you I love its you I trust, through you I no longer am bound
In you my heart is safe, through you my hope is found
You picked me up from darkness even though I was a mess
And because of what you did, from my mouth, only your name I will bless.”
