Her Silent Struggle

In the daunting chaos of this crazy world
It is all she can do to keep her feet on the ground
She is barely able to make it through the dragging days
With all the brazen anarchy that surrounds

Her every waking moment, minute after minute
She is forced through the shuffle of everyday life
And though she hides behind a happy face
Her big secret brings her down into endless strife

In the quiet sanctity of her own home
She secretly pollutes her own body and soul
So that, for a second, she can escape her troubles
The pills and alcohol she takes quickly reach their goal

Suddenly, she is unconscious, she can’t feel anymore
She passes out on the floor, and no one will know
Until the next day, when she gets up, and something has changed
Out of the blue, her persona has a brand-new glow

Because that last night, she had a grand experience
In the midst of her loneliness, she heard a voice from above
Before that day, she was lost—she had never known God
Or had the chance to feel His unconditional love

She had previously been too secluded in her own mind
To realize that she needed a power greater than herself
But as she lay there, confused, it finally hit her
She gave up the charade, and admitted she needed God’s help

She prayed for His guidance to put her life on the right track
To lead her to a path of righteousness and good
She asked for forgiveness, and God sensed her sincerity
And forgave her poor soul, as only He could

Then she awoke, feeling newly refreshed
And decided to take care of her bad choices over the years
Now, she is ready to begin on her life’s true mission
As a child of God, rid of her old, secular fears
