Sweet Bird’s Self Destruction - #5
“Sweet Bird, admitting the brokeness is what makes you strong……”
The words from Him lands on her heart but doesn’t remain long
She wants to trust His soft whispers and truly be free
But the pain is so deep, pulling her away from the healing tree
As she flies away trying to ignore all the pain…
More hits come, tightening up her heavy chain
The chain of anger and guilt grip her so tight
She slowly begins to fall, unable to stay in flight
Her little heart becomes hard and she feels so numb
What is happening to her and what will she become
After long, her hardened heart and broken soul once again begin to soar
But this time distractions, false realities, temporary joy is what she explores
No more tears
No more pain
No more fears
But now a new chain…..
A chain of false reality and lost hope
A chain of oblivion and unhealthy ways to cope
The sparkle in her eyes gone...found only in her yesterdays
Walls she put between her and her Father stop the prayers and praise
Gone is the light within her that once shined so very bright
He said the world is her stage, but she is frozen with stage fright
She lands in a tree that is dying and bare
“Oh Father, please tell me where oh where…..”
Where is the Sweet Bird I once knew
Where have I gone and have I disappointed you
How did I get so far away from who you made me to be
Oh Father, please take me back to my healing tree
“Oh Sweet Bird, come rest under my loving wing
You are ready to receive your new song to sing
As we start the journey back to your healing tree
I need you to listen to these words very carefully
Disappointed…no, I have nothing but love and grace
But my heart feels sadness watching you struggle through this race
I’ve always been right here with you, my arms open wide
Trying to bring light as you continued to run and hide
I was always near and just hoping you would see
See your self destruction and come back to be set free
I’m so proud of you for being self aware and being ready to grow
From self destruction to self growth and letting the world know
Your journey back to you began with you sharing your brokenness and pain
Your soul naked before the world with nothing for you to gain
Being real and raw and sharing where you went wrong
Then surrendering your heart to receive your new song
Please remember I’m always so proud of you
On days you fell and on days you flew
Oh Sweet Bird, you felt you were lost but she was always within
You have now accepted reality and can let the healing begin”
No more tears
No more pain
Not controlled by fears
And now no more chains
They landed on the healing tree and a feeling of familiar peace filled her heart
She took a deep breath with a tear of joy and smile and let the healing start
