I am tired,

tired of the way you look at me,

I am tired,

tired of imagining how things are supposed to be.

There is so much vitriol in your stare,

I didn’t ask to be here,

yet in my existence, I’ve become more than you would’ve dared,

Still, there is vitriol in your stare.

You want the world to believe your powerful,

but you can only do that with your weight on my neck,

Forcing me to believe that the glass is half empty and not full,

if you get me to think that, you can make me think I’m nothing but a speck.

Insignificant and worthless,

a person gripped by fear with no courage,

you mix truth with the lies and make it sound alright,

like telling me the sun is in the ocean and the water is in the sky.

I am tired,

of you saying I don’t matter,

I am tired,

of having my soul broken and my spirit shattered.

It’s time for a new belief,

A belief that was confirmed when my Lord was resurrected from the grave,

The almighty, who was a man and he was God through HIM we are saved,

It’s time for a new belief!

I am tired of you, satan, lying to me, to them, to us

Our souls are not for sale; your campaign is a bust

We are fearfully and wonderfully made

I am tired, so I’ll say it again,

We are fearfully and wonderfully made

Jesus, I give my burden to you,

I am tired, weary, all praise To the Lord, for I am

Renewed!!
