The Struggle Within

The Struggle Within

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Like a tree in a hurricane straining in the wind

My heart and mind are racing, fretting as I bend

How much more can I take of this road I'm winding down

Everything I knew left me, seems scattered on the ground

 All I taste now are these bitter to and fros

Messing with my mind are the things I used to know

And the blood from my tongue as clench back the curse

I've been trying so hard and it's only getting worse

I need a miracle to break off these chains

I need an answer before I fade away

God you know my frame I can handle so much

There has to be a change, I need only Your touch

You alone can set me on solid ground

You alone can deafen the perilous sounds

So I cry out your name and lay out my fleece

One last push of faith to reclaim your peace

All I have left is to wait for your word

Just one sign of hope, one message delivered

To stir this mirage, these mirrors of deception

Until once again I see You in my reflection

Then you speak and my burdens turn to air

A release of truth drowns my despair

Suddenly the promise rings true in my ears
Life, love, joy, peace and wisdom are again my peers
