Choice

I've been picking up the pieces
Of my life for so long
From when my reality exploded
the girl I was is gone

I wanted to be that girl again
So innocent, pure, and clean
Where life was almost
Like living in a dream

But my life came crashing down
Causing me to fall apart
I drew away from everyone else
Unsure of where to start

I lost myself through time
As I stumbled through the dark
I would eventually learn
That I had a journey to embark

I turned to my Lord
I pled for His great aid
As right beside my form
He, as promised, had stayed

I asked Him why He hadn't
Taken my pain and tears away
Why did my dark past
Within my head stay?

He told me that it was my choice
To hold on or to let go
I could choose to be friends
Or to become my own foe

I am tired of being
The girl broken and poor
So I have decided
To try to change my core

I want to find the healing
That my Lord will bring
And praises to Him
I will forever sing

I think that I'm ready
To find a true peace
To have my sorrow
An my tears finally cease
