“CRUSHED SPIRIT”
Don’t crush my spirit
Don’t crush my soul
It hurts too much to imagine I have to let go
Reality settles and takes it’s course
I find myself down in the dumps
Full of remorse
I have never lost faith
But you take me there
With that dead silence
With that look of despair
It is as though everything you were is no longer the same
It is as though God has left me with the devil’s game
Sick, disturbing it maybe
Taking me to a place I don’t want to be
Get me out of this reality
It’s not like the shows you see on TV
Fake and scripted
This is real
Life shucking you down
Life forcing you to swallow its jagged little pill
Tearing you until
YOU
no longer believe who you are
Blackening your inside with its spiteful tar
Never crush my spirit
Never crush my soul
Down for now but I will be made whole
Faith is never fleeting
Love is forever and forever will you have your toll
Your steps of life imprinted on me
To rise up against doubt and claim victory!
Life toils with me as it may
But your love is stronger it will forever remain
Stronger than the abyss of the unknown
Thanks you Love for sharing with me the road I’ve always known
