Invisible Tears:

Sitting there all alone in tears and despair,
Gasping for breath in those drowning tears,
You look to the sky and cry out to your Lord –
Asking why you go through this pain and suffering
Your shoes never seem to stay tied -
Making it seem as if you’re always stumbling,
A deep void never seems to ever get filled,
You stumble to get up but something holds you down,
Sitting there all alone, the world seems so far away,
You can’t seem to get a handle on it anymore,
The hand you once recognized feels so far away,
You lay there on that cold wooden floor,
Beaten in your own battle against yourself,
You body says get up but you say no, however,
In that moment you feel a warm peaceful breeze,
Those tears you once dried are now dried for you,
That loyal friend you’ve been looking for is near you now,
Let Him be the one you call and cry for,
Running into the arms of a true savior seems so good,
If you need to fall down in humility, let it be in His arms,
That void is now filled with love, warmth and eternal security,
A lost question is now answered in full,
The question is: Who are you following?
