My hopes and dreams start to feel distant,

And as my body becomes less and less timid,

I start to succumb.

Thereby making my thoughts numb.

How did I fall?

Since I couldn’t walk I should’ve crawled.

I didn’t even try,

But instead, let this thing make my body cry.

Day in and day out,

I continue to weep till my body dries out,

These tears were not meant to last,

And so He picked me up.

He told me that my past,

My past should not contain a drop of fear.

Nor should it continue to tear me apart.

My heart was broken,

Disconnected from my body.

I felt nothing I was nothing,

But he saved me.

I opened my eyes for the first time in years.

I no longer felt that empty fear,

Because I knew he will forever be near.

Where I thought I was nothing,

He made me something.

I was finally free.

 

For the Bible says,

“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”

Romans 8:1-2
