 calm down calm down you'll be okay it's not the end of the world anyway that's what they say that's what I want to believe when I'm overwhelmed out of my mind and I forget to breathe and these thoughts won't go away they tell me that they're here to stay I try to listen to the voice it tells me I'll be okay but what if I'm not what if it all goes wrong it has gone wrong now the thoughts come back and I'm back to square one no I don't do this just for fun I just want to run I know I'm not the only one the only one who seems to have a mental state darker than they'd like the only one who seems to have a mental state more confused than bright I just want to see the light I just want to see the light they say believe God then you'll feel better what happens when I believe God you'd feel the same was God's mission to help me believe I can handle this on my own or give us hope amidst the pain even when I feel down even when my soul cries out even when I'm overwhelmed even when I feel left for dead I can remember the things that he said I'm with you do not fear through all this he's giving us the grace to persevere because you are near God I can persevere because you're near I don't have to let these feelings consume me because you are near life can ruin me but your life was still shine through me because you're near I don't have to be shackled anymore because you were near these shackles can be thrown to the floor because this truth can be heard I want to believe the worst that you're telling me but I'm overwhelmed as you can see God can you take this from me? Can you ease this calamity in my soul? Father I want to be whole I want to be whole
