Failed Me…Jessica Lilelk
FAILED ME
Jessica Lilelk
I’m calling it: FAILED ME:
He won’t talk to me
i feel the cold shoulder
like rain on my head
And I’m growing colder
It’s like i can’t see the light
and i’m descending in darkness
i’m hopeless and falling
wasn’t meant to be like this
I came to learn about love
now i move with trepidation
but every second guess
is filled with hesitation
with fear in my step
under the trees
I folded my hands and
fell to my knees
time for the blessing
to play out in the sun
but even as a child
it was hard to have fun
i used to wake early
roused by intuition
that the day has arrived
it’s time for fruition
as i pray, under the stars
it becomes so clear to me
I’ve fallen from favor
“God must be mad at me”
what demon is this
That brought my destitution
what curse has been cast
that has me seek restitution
As I reach atonement
From what I was taught
I look up in the mirror
An see what God is not
Trying to catch up in the world
left me running in place
going nowhere too fast
and I fell out of grace
It’s always worse than the last
struggling through anxiety
“You’re gonna fail”, but
who’s that voice inside of me
I’ve forfeit my purpose
and neglected my power
I’ve abandoned myself
in my darkest hour
stuck now, digging a hole
to be my own grave
bear with me King
as i relinquish my ways
in a matter of time
and sincerely, redemption
His love courses through me
As His RIGHTOUS pre-emption
The illusion of myself
was getting away with me
I said thank you for the struggle
but now i can see
i prayed for an angel
to help me believe
…with certain revelation…
“It was only me mad at me.
