CRUSHED

MY HEART IS BRUISED
AND I'M SO CONFUSED.
I THOUGHT HE LOVED ME,
BUT IN ANGER
HE HURT ME.
HE KNEW
THAT WAS THE WORST THING HE COULD DO
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
MY CHILDHOOD
ALL OF THE HITTING
AND SHOUTING
YELLING
DAY
AFTER
DAY
YEAR
AFTER
YEAR
WILL IT EVER END?
WILL I EVER BE AT PEACE?
HAVEN'T I BEEN HURT ENOUGH, LORD,
AND SPREAD YOUR WORD?
DON'T YOU THINK
THAT IT'S TIME
I'M ALLOWED TO COME HOME?
YES, I WANT TO BE HAPPY,
TREATED THE WAY
THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING
SHOULD BE
WHAT'S WRONG WITH WANTING THAT?
TO BE TREATED SPECIAL,
TO BE LOVED BEYOND MEASURE
AND NEVER TO BE CRUSHED
AGAIN

PSALM 34:18

GOD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED

AND SAVES THOSE WHO ARE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT
