Held even when Breaking

My life, my family, has been shattered and broken

What I thought was love was revealed as cruelest control

I am treated as a creature unworthy

How do I battle the shame of ignorance?

My mind, imprisoned by the lies told by one I loved

Yearns to be free and yet trembles at the unknown

How do I learn to trust when everything I once believed was false?

I pray for freedom from the one who hurt me

That the truth will finally be seen

Yet it seems my life continues to unravel as he still wins

Why should I continue to fight?

His lies have spread and all around

I receive nothing but judgment from those meant to help

I turn my gaze, with fearful pleading

To the One whose word brought life into existence.

Even when men turn away, dismissing my cries for help,

My God reigns above all things

He will hold me to Him.

My God hears the pain I cannot speak

And as I fall, my spirit broken

I am caught by His arms that had never left me.
