So much going on inside me
My mind fraught with a myriad of thoughts
I try to breathe, still my body, my mind, my soul
I try to let go
Cannot even begin to make sense of my thought process
So overwhelmed, the feeling of being really alone encapsulating me, suffocating me
Breathe Samara, just breathe
Pray
My own worst enemy, I wrap my arms around myself, trying to keep it all inside
It’s too much for one person, I’m heavy with the burden
So downtrodden I fall back, arms opened up, my soul open
I let go
I let go
I let go
Tears streaming, chest heaving
I let go
Palms up facing
I let it all go
I have come to the end of myself
At the end of me, I find YOU
Where I end, YOU begin
When I am finished, YOU are only just beginning
I feel so light that I could levitate
So peaceful
YOU take it
My sadness, my pain, my stress, my life
YOU take it all
You empty me and fill me at the same time
Through the tips of my fingers I feel YOUR presence
The comfort is much beyond my words being able to convey
YOUR presence it comes all at once
There’s no way I can deny YOUR love for me
Like a home, I am warm again
Like a flower, I am blooming
Like a child, I am joyful and carefree
Like a daughter of Christ, I am made whole
I am FULL
Like acid coursing through my veins I feel YOU
YOU are so real
Like a heart full of blood, I am filled with YOU
So alive
Like a flower without its petals, I don’t know who I am without YOU
YOU define me
YOU came, YOU never have to, but YOU always do
My soul…
I can breathe again
I can wake up to a new day
And have faith that my worries are no longer my own
My mind can finally still
No more overthinking
My heart can beat steady
No more anxiety
I can keep living
No more depression
I may not have control over every aspect of my life
But the knowledge that YOU want and will what’s best for me, empties my soul of all the negativity and fills me with YOU
Continue to fill me Lord
My soul wants
My soul needs
YOU
