not Me

Forget all the doors that I’ve stood behind

Stood haunted

shackled in disbelief

Forget the nightmares that turned me into the monster

that said that I shouldn’t be

Forget all 25 and even the times

that Hell laid claims to me

Forget who didn’t love

and when I couldn’t trust

Forget hopeless

Forget my defeat

Forget that the temple once opened to thieves

Me an accomplice with no sympathy

Forget all my lies

Forget when I’d hide

Forget that I never loved me

They say “God’s got a purpose, and daughter you’re worth it.”

I need that to play on repeat

‘Cause not pretty not smart not rich enough either

Distortions of once little me

Distractions attack

but imprinted on my heart

Are all God’s capabilities

He’s forgiving my failures

does work through my flaws

His promises stand

NOT ME
