My life is but a black hole
Very dark
Yet I keep getting sucked into it
Into the darkness I hate
I scream for someone to hear
But no one listens
No one hears
And I need out
I need out of the pain
I need out of the depression
I need out of the sadness
For that is all that darkness is
And that is my life
My dark hole
No walls
No stairs
To get out
But listen
I hear someone
Someone hears me
He's coming closer
But I won't let him come
I only want to help myself
I changed my mind
I don't need anyone
But he keeps coming
He's trying to get to me
Who could this be
Who loves me so much
To keep coming
Even though I shove him away
I need to let him come to me
I need so bad for him to help me
But my heart is not right
Something in me needs to change
This black hole is not my life
This black hole is my heart
And this strange man is Jesus
Over these past months I have shoved him away
Thinking I could do it myself
Thinking I don't need his help
I don't need anybody
But I do
My calling has died down
I have found a way out
The only way out
Jesus
