Why???
by michelle nance

The pain is deep inside me,
Tearing me apart.
I feel its weight upon me,
It goes right through my heart.
The hurt is always with me,
A burden I must bear,
It causes me such heartache,
Sorrow and despair.

My heart is cold and heavy,
My injustice I resent.
Anger builds inside me,
I give it my consent.
My life is now an emptiness,
Such depression I've not known.
The world has turned against me,
I face it completely alone.

Why have you let this happen?
Why have you done this to me?
What have I done to deserve this?
How can you let this be?
Where is the peace that you promise?
You've taken the joy from my life.
Now I'm perpetually lonely,
Surrounded by trouble and strife.

I see the pain that's inside you,
I long to touch your heart.
I will lift this burden from you,
My love I will impart.
I will free you from your affliction,
My compassion I will show.
I am willing to uphold you,
My peace once again you will know.

Give me all of your anger,
Commit yourself to me today.
Always be willing to trust me,
My word you must obey.
Then you will know not this burden,
My love through you will flow.
I promise I will uplift you,
Through this I will help you to grow.
