My faith
my sanity
my fight to save humanity
forged in fire
turned to ash
all have crumbled
time has passed


Shield me from the darkness
save me from the night
all I ever needed
was a little light

 

Now it's too late
now I'm gone
What could you've done?
I died so young
I couldn't take it
I was driven to this
I tried to fake it

 

I wasn't rescued from the darkness
it consumed me
you saw all the signs
but you didn't save me
you always acted upset
like I wasn't supposed to be
what was the point of God making me?

 

What I didn't know is that He had huge plans
hate pierced me like the nails through His son's hands
in the midst of my darkness
He is my light
but I just would not let it shine

 

Now it's too late
now i'm gone
I leave you with this desperate song
you begged and begged for me to stay
but now what's the point?
what can I say?


The author's comments:

I've had the first three lines of this in my head for several months now, but I didn't know what to make of it. I got on 750words.com and started typing whatever came to mind. Soon, I ended up with this piece. I hope people read this and think of how wonderful our father in heaven is.
