Be still my soul

Listen to my broken heart

One day at a time

I need to pray

To survive through

This hard time

I am a drowned angel

Surrounded in a pool of tears

Surrounded by terrifying fears

Chains that bound me

Walls that I can’t break alone

I am alone in my feelings

Only God can save me

From falling to the bottom

Of the ocean

Like he did when I was young

In the Lake of Michigan

At the age of 13

So young so innocent and so free

I wannabe back in that feeling again

Of inner peace and serenity

Drowned angel

I am not the only one

After trials and tribulations

I am letting God in

He is knocking at the door

Bringing hope and faith and love

I am waiting for answers

But I see are broken pieces

Scattered about me

Problem solving is one of my strengths

Being hurt and a stress disorder victim

Is my new challenge

I am in a chapter in my life

Making a new beginning

This drowned angel

Will submerge out of the water

And fly high again into sky

And touch the ground

And run to God’s arms

And he will carry me home
