G.R.A.C.E. (Getting Renewed And Covered Everyday)

Like the titanic I'm treading on waters slowly sinking

Heart racing, pulse pacing, mind constantly thinking

Trying to figure out, how in hell did I get to this place

From sprinting to walking now crawling, trying to endure the race

Like a dying tree in the forest, I stand in pain

Praying to the healer, to send down the rain

So my roots can stop shaking and be so at ease

That I may once again be a cool breeze

But in a way, like a slave, I'm tired

Tired of  fighting and working so hard everyday only to be fired

And replaced by the very people I've trained

Then off to another job I go, without anything gained

Sometimes I feel like a muppet 

Controlled by the hands of another, like some cheap puppet

I know I am a real boy

But often times I feel like a toy

Being played with by society

And you wonder why I suffer with anxiety 

If only you could walk in my shoes

Then maybe you'd understand what it feels like to lose

Patience I have, but hope seems thin

What must I do to turn this life of mine over again

Who do I have to prove what to

To end this cycle of constantly feeling blue

I wish I could rewind my emotions to when I felt free

I'd travel again and again back to happy me

I wouldn't care at all or have the slightest once of worry

Unfortunately, that's not my story

For my life is real and not make believe

The only way to be a winner is to constantly achieve

That's why even though I feel walked on like the ground

I can't dwell on it too long and keep my head down

Because I have so much to smile about

Even in chaos, my life, without a doubt, is worth a shout

So I must continue to pick back up these pieces of me

And unselfishly choose to be happy

Even though in my shoes lies a strain 

Someone else is walking in more pain 

So forgive me father for being ungrateful

I doubted you, but now I'm back faithful 

I know that I may feel like the titantic 

But I know that you will protect me and never leave me to sink

For you said in your word that you are able to do

Exceedingly and abundantly above all I can ask or think

And I know that you are not a man that you should lie

Therefore I will no longer cry

Instead, I will rejoice and be of good cheer in this place

And continue to thank you for your Amazing Grace
