There's A God Out There

She had given up all hope

Swallowed the pills,

Cried till she slept

Gave up on thrills

She woke the next day,

With tears in her eyes,

Not yet 16 years old

All she spoke was lies

She took the pills with no pain

Blamed her own brain,

Told no one about her struggles,

Didn’t want no troubles,

He is listening

He is crying tears for you,

He is dying,

Listening to you,

Cut her skin so deep,

Now not only her eyes weep

Dying to die,

Wanting eternal sleep

Seventeen came,

Addictions still strong,

Forgot how to be clean,

Been high for so long

To everyone’s surprise

She had pain in her eyes,

Though she wouldn’t share,

People did care

You say you don’t deserve it,

He knows you’re worth it

On his hunt for you,

He won’t forfeit

The principal confronted

Though she just dodged,

Threw the bone in the other direction,

Left no time for self-reflection

When eighteen came,

The bottle became her life

Drinking all day,

And crying all night

No happiness in sight

She put up no fight

Drifted away,

Died every day

When nineteen rolled around

She was nowhere to be found

No more hopelessness

Instead contentedness

No more lingering in fear

She cried no more tears

No longer a mess,

Lost herself in happiness

He held my hand,

Helped me make it through,

There’s a God out there,

And he loves you
