I wrote this after hearing a similar tale from a friend of mine that is very close to me! |
You scream and call me bad names, Cutting with words while bruising with hands. You say I don’t think and I won’t even try, Even when I tell the truth, you believe that I lie. Who is this person residing where my mother stands? I wish I could make you see the truth, That I don’t deserve the punishment you deal. I honestly want to do exactly as you say, I look for ways to please you, every single day. You don’t know the scars you leave will never heal. To wild to care about myself or anyone else, You look at me as simply misguided youth. The sex and drugs must surely be why, I listen to loud music and my hair I dye. The way I fit into society is simply uncouth. Completely ignorant to the subject at hand, I don’t deserve your judgment at all. I’ve never tried drugs and I’ve always been abstinent, If a church would let me in, I’d surly have went. You don’t know that I am ready for God’s call You pity my dependence upon this wheelchair, While trying to feed myself, you look away. Oh, how my weakened and feeble body does shake, Why every morning now you’re thankful that I wake. But don’t write me off just because I can’t say… When you look into my eyes, can you not see? While trapped in this body I am still the man I used to be My mind is still as sharp today and still honed to a point Even though my body’s rusted and squeaks from every joint You don’t know to look past this body and see my vitality God watches through a flood of tears as you destroy The lush land and companions he gifted you He hears through bleeding ears your pain As you curse and speak against him yet again Erasing him from your schools, then what next, church too? . God sent his only begotten son to die on the cross, By the mercy of his blood, your sins can come clean. God placed the blood and forgiveness at your feet It is your decision alone to take it or retreat. |
