Testimony

All the trials and tribulations I have been through, has made me set my eyes on a new destination.
Just sitting here and letting the hurt take over isn’t how I’m spending this month.
This month will be my testimony and I will show everyone that with God I can’t be lonely.
I have seen the King in my dreams, and I think I finally know what it means.
He can only fight for me once I stop hiding from him.
So I’m taking hold of the light because I know he’s given me the right to see a better day.
No more crying because you see I’ve started trying to keep my soul from dying.
Being a part of this world made me stray a little from the Lord.
I told myself I couldn’t take a leap of faith,
That the hole that I dug was so deep, and that God Himself couldn’t even reach me.
But now I’m tired of this trial and I’m no longer in denial of my self-worth.
I am worth way more than what I had previously set forth for myself.
I’ve learned that without love, how can I set myself above the crap I got but didn’t deserve.
So guess what?
You might think this is nuts but I’ve started praying.
And as I’m praying I’m slaying every demon of negative feelings.
Meaning tomorrow you’ll see that I’m actually trying,
And you’d know I wasn’t lying because me being saved is not just a passing wave.
