Empathy wasn’t getting me no where
Sacrificed myself to go ahead but very much still behind
While the accolades continue I was withering and dying inside
Deprived of what I deserved
trying to stay attach to a soul that rejected me
To the outside world I looked picture perfect
And while I tried so hard to save the dying souls mines was starting to have dinner dates with theirs
causing me to be inflicting myself with pain, and deprivation
They took from me until there was nothing left
And while they were now filled with me
I was gone
Lost, confused, how could they do me so wrong?
Was I not enough for you
Screaming and pleading for answers that could easily be answered by me
I was searching for me in someone who wasn’t me
So while I stood there unclothed, stripped from everything I ever known
Asking for someone to come save me
That when I knew
I’ve gone to far
So I started to run In a different direction
I started to scream
I started to breathe
I started to be free
When I made it to my destination
I was no longer unclothed
No longer confused
No longer deprived
But I was replenished with the only thing that could save me
It wasn’t me
But the God in me
