WHY AM I FORSAKEN

~~WHY AM I FORSAKEN    √

Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Tell me what I have done wrong?
Sometimes I fear for my sanity
Because, the pain in my body lasts much too long

What can I do how can I help?
Is there something I haven’t tried?
The time is passing, and I am fighting to live
I fear I’ll drown in the tears that I have cried

Lord, why am I feeling so forsaken now
I feel broken, and there’s nowhere to turn
The doors I approach close in my face
I see things that I should not have to learn

Lord, why have I been forsaken?
Please take me away from here tonight
I cannot live while I’m torn apart inside
Alone, without hope, in such pain every night…

There are times during the highs of my pain, looking for medical attention, that I questioned the purpose I am to serve?

During the first year of my misdiagnoses I often felt I was forsaken and abandoned by God, but I was wrong, God kept me alive and I survived and found my purpose…helping others advocate, break their silence and mend their soul and quiet the mind…
