Hills and Valleys

Got lost in the pain

Tried to cover up the shame

Suffering in silence

Opening old wounds

Became a lifelong project

Missed warning signs

Right in front of your eyes

You see the tears

Wished you would have comforted my fears

I’ve been to war and back again

The wilderness and darkness watching over

I long for words to be spoken

I dreamed of a place to pursue my propose

Still holding on to old scars

Like yesterday’s sunset

Realizing only God can set me apart

Gets blurry

While images go back and forth

Had it all along

Lost myself in a whirlwind of secrets

Even though I try

These walls keep getting higher

It became a game of hiding and seek

Praise Him in the storm that’s how I learned to

Rely on His strength
