I've been looking at it wrong
My whole life I keep forgetting
Repentance is not about not sinning
It's about choosing what is right
To do what honors God
That is true freedom

I've been looking at it wrong
My whole life I keep forgetting
Repentance is not about not sinning
It's about choosing what is right
To do what honors God
That is true freedom
Countless thoughts fester my mind
Thoughts I trouble to express
It fills me with regret
If I could turn back time
Alas, it cannot be
I cannot turn back what I've been
Where I am now is a new me
A new creation
My heart, it aches
I feel much burden for the year to come
So much that I need to do
Yet at times I do nothing
I should be doing it
I keep struggling
Yet I should not stop
Cause when I do
That's when I am further from God
So it starts right here
It starts right now
Everything is anew
Goodbye, old self
Hello, new creation
Here they are again
The thoughts
They ravage
I'm tired of it
Why am I so
I go back to the days
Where I say things to survive
Respond with words hoping
I would not hear words
Words of anger
Words of hurt
Words of discouragement
I go back to those days
When I make my mistakes
I revisit the memories
That shaped the pain of my childhood
Amplifying the memories
Amplifying the emotions
Questioning why is it so
Why was I so
What can I do
How can I go
When will I
Where can I
The thoughts end
I have nothing left
My body feels like a void
I feel the wind passing through me
Why am I so
Only One
No one else would understand
Only One
Someone Who is not from here
A Higher Being
He alone knows what I am going through
He alone understands me
Yet, I feel so alone
I do not know who I can talk to about
The feelings that well up within me
He exists, He is there
Yet, I cannot hear
I cannot see Him
Is there anyone out there
Who would hear me
Who would see me
Anyone to stay
and listen
but then
There is only One
One last time...for five more months
If I've survived doing it for 12 years
What's five months compared to that
What am I even doing
Why am I doing this
I'm tired
I'm different from then
I can't be like them
I'll be a leader my own way
Don't overthink it
Just do what you think is best
Don't think to much about it
It's just a fantasy
That love you think of
I messed up
I shouldn't have done that
Yet the surge of emotions overtook me
I let myself be consumed
I let the beast out
For the wrong reason
I let the beast out
Like how he did
Which I promised to never do
I hurt her
I see the blood
Dripping from the eyes
I can feel the pain in her voice
What have I done?
Monster
I can't be like others
So
Who am I
I am not enough
That is why I must run to Him
Nothing
Nothing can save me anymore
Other than Him alone
God alone can save me
Will I reach out my hand as He has always been reaching me?
My thoughts always lead me
To think of something else
Voices that are not my own
Whisper that the fault is all mine
Yet I have done nothing
The darkness nags me
It's your fault
You did something
You have not helped
You made it worse
One day
These voices
Will still be here
But I will learn
That they are not my own
To survive another day
Is the role you have to play
Living with the facade you made
It's how you can live for another day
