trapped but blessed
I wake up to the sun, another brand new day Got a roof above my head, food on the plate, a comforting display Friends and family, they say "You've got it good, you see?" And in my quiet moments, I truly do agree I know I'm blessed, more than many ever dream A life of privilege, or so it truly seems But when the silence calls, and the world fades out of view There's a battle raging, a war I can't subdue A thousand thoughts collide, a storm inside my head Leaving me exhausted, filled with a nameless dread Oh, my mind runs crazy, it's a tempest, wild and deep Fighting these inside emotions, secrets that I keep This gratitude I cherish, feels so far away right now Will I ever feel blessed again? I just don't know somehow This darkness overshadows, the light I used to find Lost inside the of my own troubled mind Little things can trigger, a wave I can't control A spiral downwards, stealing joy and taking its toll I try to breathe, to ground myself in what is true But the whispers are too loud, the self-doubt breaking through It tells me I'm ungrateful, for all that I possess Trapped within this prison of my own distress And when the silence calls, and the world fades out of view There's a battle raging, a war I can't subdue A thousand thoughts collide, a storm inside my head Leaving me exhausted, filled with a nameless dread Oh, my mind runs crazy, it's a tempest, wild and deep Fighting these inside emotions, secrets that I keep This gratitude I cherish, feels so far away right now Will I ever feel blessed again? I just don't know somehow This darkness overshadows, the light I used to find Lost inside the labyrinth of my own troubled mind I long for the simplicity, of just being truly present To fully taste the blessings, without this dark descent To quiet down the chaos, the doubt that screams so loud And stand beneath my blessings, not hidden in a cloud Is there a way back to that feeling, pure and unconfined? Or am I destined to be bound, by this unraveling mind? Oh, my mind runs crazy, it's a tempest, wild and deep Fighting these inside emotions, secrets that I keep This gratitude I cherish, feels so far away right now Will I ever feel blessed again? I just don't know somehow This darkness overshadows, the light I used to find Lost inside the labyrinth of my own troubled mind Will I ever feel blessed again? Just hoping to feel blessed again... Lost within, but holding on... To a hope that's almost gone... Blessed... again...
