Prisoner
Sometimes the sins you carry blinds you
To love yourself is the most precious gift man can give to himself
criticism, judgement, toxicity
Do not give into peer-pressure
It exist in many ways
Remind yourself, somehow some way of HIS ways
Fight with your words and win
Read up about yourself,
learn yourself and learn others
Learn the world
Do not be bound by the world
And do not let your sins blind you
See,
I have never considered myself
A little Princess
I never cared for
Friday The 13th
Learning to grow as a sidekick of
Shrek
Every year people calling me
Girl, Positive
Always fearing
The Devils Advocate
And the heartache of
The Passion of Christ
with the lingering secret of
What My Mother Doesn't Know
I fight what life has played out for me in each
Sound of Music
Maybe one day, I will write my version of
The History of a Star
Till then, I will be crucified in
The Pursuit of Happiness
Do not be your own prisoner
Escape
And
Become

Once there was a holy place Evidence of God's embrace And I can almost see mercy's face Pressed against the veil
Looking down with longing eyes Mercy must have realized That once His blood was sacrificed Freedom would prevail
And as the sky grew dark And the earth began to shake With justice no longer in the way
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free Past all my failures To the point of my need When the sin that I carried Was all I could see And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
Once there was a broken heart Way too human from the start And all the years left you torn apart Hopeless and afraid
Walls I never meant to build Left this prisoner unfulfilled Freedom called but even still It seemed so far away
I was bound by the chains From the wages of my sin Just when I felt like giving in
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free Past all my failures To the point of my need When the sin that I carried Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
