Heaven help us.



Seasons have changed,
Right now it's raining like hell,
All I wanted  was a friend,
Right now it's  all up to deal with instead.

Seeking comfort in man never has seemed to work,
Glory only comes from above,
From the one who giveth love,
Putting faith in man will never last.

Conflict within the heart and soul is no joke,
It leaves you scattered with no place to go,
Disorientation is what becomes familiar,
Accompanied by feelings that are rather peculiar.

These new happenings may weaken the soul,
Leaving you in a place you never felt so alone,
Nothing to hold onto as  you sink into the sand,
Tell me is it still part of the plan?
What really do you have in store for us?

Let go of your pain and let things heal,
These words say seem cliché and shit,
But honestly time is all you need,
To internalise your feels
And get back on your feet,
But before all this,get on your knees
Beg mercy from HIM that created thee!
