Poetic

I've got a lot on my plate

My knees are starting to shake

I think I'm starting to break

Under the pressure and I hate it

Up in the night

Voices haunting my mind

Feels like I'm rotting inside

I put a smile on but I fake it

Stuck on my phone

Trying to not feel alone

Yeah it's a habit I hold

And I'm still struggling to break it

Somebody help me

This is getting unhealthy

That's when I hear You tell me

That it's time to turn the page

God I'm such a mess

And I can't figure it out

Only You know how

It's all getting hectic

But there's something poetic

'Bout the way that You hold me

Hold me through it all

Some say it's pathetic

Oh but they just don't get it

How You turn all my messes

Into miracles

I wanna do what is right

But God the harder I try

I do the things I despise

Can't help but feel like such a traitor

That's when You write

Another chapter that I

Never thought I would find

You put redemption down on paper

God I'm such a mess

And I can't figure it out

Only You know how

It's all getting hectic

But there's something poetic

'Bout the way that You hold me

Hold me through it all

Some say it's pathetic

Oh but they just don't get it

How You turn all my messes

Into miracles

You turned Your lashes into my healing

You gave Your life to give mine meaning

Can it be real this love I'm seeing?

Someone pinch me, am I dreaming?

A crown of thorns so I could be royal

Tears and blood so I could be joyful

You took the cross

You took it for me

Could there be a better story?

Could there be a better story?
