If I Had A Voice

If I had a voice, I would sing.

Shout from the mountain tops to every living thing,

That we are truly art and made in the image of God.

On days, I've felt like a fraud and couldn't carry your word,

I drop to my knees and ask you to spare the rod.

I want better for myself, but I can't seem to be heard.

If I had a voice, I would talk.

Talk about the times you were there when I was trapped in a mind vault.

Every single moment I wake up and I feel as though I am stuck.

In a rut, thinking I should really just die because this can't be life.

When I didn't know how I would pay rent, there you were saving me again.

So many loved ones turned their backs on me, along with the world.

At times I felt like I wasn't worthy of love, worthy of trust. You assured me

That it was something greater for me later. I must endure.

Pistol on my lap contemplating.

I'm aching, my heart is racing and I feel like I can't take it.

I just want to prove to my family that I can make it.

Appeal to a younger generation that we can all be successful if we all follow the Savior.

I'm nothing without you Father and I shall continue to take the path you set and burn my regrets.

In a vortex, chasing validation from others that I never seem to get.

I hope that you can help me see things clear and remove all things not pleasing to the Heavens.

Peace, love, wisdom, and patience.

I should put my efforts into these things and establish a core.

Without them, my love life is a chore. Putting my energy into people

Who clearly have no time to adorn. I won't even the score.

I've already won. I claim victory in your name Dear Lord.

Next time I'm feeling down and unimportant, I pray that you come a little closer

To hear my voice.
