I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have
loved you, so you too should love one another. John 13:34

Please remind me what I am fighting for


Please remind me what I am fighting for
I look around
I see fragments of my heart
Pieces of me that you keep ripping apart

I feel exposed
I feel ashamed
The truth to the matter is I am not to blame
The only thing I am faulted for
Is falling victim to your appeals

My hands are clammy
My mind is weak
Yet my faith remains firm
My feet stay planted

To rid you from my heart would be freedom
To rid you from my mind would be bliss
The issue that remains
I cannot walk away

I see you standing
Laughing at my pain
For you feel that it is deserved
That I am the cause of these things

I am tired of trying to prove to you who I am
I am tired of trying to make you understand that I am different

There will come a time when my strength no longer
Depends on the words you feed me
There will come a time when the food I desire
Is no longer from the wicked hands of yours

Will this be because I am no longer under your spell?
Will this be because you are no longer wicked and mean?

These are questions I cannot answer
These are questions I choose to give to God
The questions eat at my mind
Draining the very life out of me
Leaving me fragile and bleak

Please remind me what I am fighting for
