Fear

Bruised and Broken
Bad words spoken
Swinging, flailing arms
suppose to hug me
beat me down
with great thunder
they come at me
in my misery
they call me names
say I’m to blame
for their terrible strife
they hate me, they hate their life.
So they fill me with dread
pound on my head
till it hurts like my heart
torn apart by murderous words
they continue their madness
till nothing else hurts
and darkness falls upon me
and I’m no longer afraid
of their bitterness, their anger and rage.
God has taken me home
away from their arms
that did me so much harm
away from the pain
my tears no longer fall like rain
on my pillow each night
I no longer need to fight
now I’m in heaven; I feel so much peace
there’s a bright light before me
I feel the release.
