An errant heart adrift,

vacant and void, moments

from disappearing

asphyxiated by pride

a suffocated suicide

yet faith can exist

in a dire time as this

when a troubled mind resists

her Savior’s hand

fearing he couldn’t understand

her pain

her pride

the way she died inside

he proved her wrong

made her strong

became her comfort, shelter

her refuge and strength

took her burden set her free

made me the person I was

meant to be
