Down the broken rode I went
No love
Just darkness
in a ball I sat with my head down
a black bird came through the night
poking, jabbing, stabbing
me from every angle
I refused to look up and be face to face with my pain
as I sat there curled up in my ball I felt trapped and alone
sitting there in the dark the poking, jabbing, and stabbing continued
until I couldn't stand it anymore
I screamed out and lifted my face
expecting the worst
and I found myself face to face with grace
It was not dark anymore
there was a light shining bright
God had been trying to get me to look up and see the light
see the light that was not shining from buildings in a city
but from my own heart where He lives eternally
I had been covering my light in my despair
forgetting that God is always there
we can never be consumed by darkness
because God is a fire that refuses to burn out
and lives inside of us no matter our spiritual where-about
we may fall down sometimes but it doesn't matter
because God is Father and Lord
He shed His blood so I can proudly say
I am a daughter of Christ
and am loved more than words could ever express
