Show me;
show me what I have to do,
where I have to go.
Because I'm lost.
Up is down,
down is up.
right is left,
left is right.
I see a picture and it's enough
to flood me with memories.
Oh show me how to love-
to open up to people.
Show me how to trust.
Looking down, scars on my wrists,
remembering how I once was,
and how i used to feel,
how life used to treat me
and what I got from it.
That was without you.
Now I'm seeking you,
and I beg of you not to let me fall
into the sinking sand of darkness and pain
I used to be completely covered in;
where every waking day it would
drag me further and further,
sometimes so close
I almost drowned in my own sorrow.
I had no trust then; no
belief,
confidence,
happiness,
faith.
All I had was
self pity,
pain,
blood,
seeping through every night
as the razor would pierce my skin,
slicing it,
even carving words sometimes,
as if my flech were only a slate
and nothing more.
The scar is still there,
the one that said "lost".
That was when You and me were far away.
Now we are much closer,
and I have found that I need you.
I used to hate needing people,
having them be my only source of happiness,
but now I'm seeing things in a new light.
Because;
You're not a person.
You're so much more.
Though sometimes I feel myself
get stuck into the sinking sand of pain and anger,
wallowing in treacherous agony,
for the most part You have cleansed me.
And I must ask of You.
You can't take the scars of the past away,
nor the pain and morosity I once felt,
the alone-ness I was shrouded in,
but You can help me now.
So will you please give me direction?
