Until I'm Born AgainA Poem by R.E.K.about depression and hoping for the breakthrough, finding the healing and the joy that I've lost along the way.Mother says "Don't you know all you can be?" Father speaks like the devil's holding me Brother calls, but I hang up the phone again It gets hard sometimes to hear him through the line Chorus: And I'm just trying, just trying to be right now I'm just trying, just trying to be And I'm trying, I'm just trying so desperately I'm just trying right now I'm just trying right now to be Breathe in slow like I'm tasting morning light Search for calm in the eye of the storm, hold tight God is here " I will cover you until you're born again." I hope He's here to teach me how to breathe And I know I dig Myself deeper in Every time I fall But this pain has swelled To a burning Hell I can't take this anymore Chorus: Gone are the I things I thought I was My beautiful has turned to dust My laundry piles seem to pile more And I hardly leave My bed these days My sanity Has slipped away I'm begging, crying here for its return Little bird perches quietly in my heart Patiently in her nest, she waits among the dark I am blind, But I hope that I will see one day again Her feathers lift and guide my broken soul Chorus: (Replace last lines: ) And I'm just trying ... Until I'm born again... to be. © 2018 R.E.K. |
