Nobody knows what my heart feels


Can I be real?
I've spent my whole life being judged
and predicted
Some of my pain is self inflicted
So at night sometimes I cry
Nobody knows why
I have to be this perfect person
Even when I'm hurtin'
And dealing with the burdens
Of being a father, a brother,
a man of christ
And the minute I don't get it right
All I have is God to call on
Nobody else to fall on
I have lost so much but I keep my faith
God told me it's not too late
If a person loves you for who you are
It doesn't matter about
your house or car
Or your financial situation
If your God's creation
I'm only a sinner saved by grace
God chastised me and put my weakness
in my face
And when I slipped up
I was picked up
And wiped off
Thats what my life costs
People that were friends to me
Turned into my ememies
And used my wrongs against me
I was like a car runnin' on empty
If you only knew
The pain that I've been through
You wouldn't have something to tell
about me
Instead you would try to
love the HELL! out of me
Now you know it's me
My life is in the words of poetry
I put God in me, so God comes out
Without the benefit of the doubt
I know I'll die if I don't continue to grow
Does anybody care  I don't think
anybody knows
