The Things We Do
The things we do to get us through the day
Those habits that don’t let us break away
The problems that revisit us at night
We try to bandage at the morning light
Desperate to take the edge off what we feel
We try to pretend problems are not real
We numb ourselves will pills and alcohol
We isolate from those who try to call
Chose self harm- hide from it all
Yet realize we’re headed for a fall
The choices that we make destroy our hope
Until we choose a healthy way to cope
To cope with stress
To cope with pain
So we won’t obsess
Won’t go Insane
Hide broken hearts
And broken lives
Won’t fall apart
Before your eyes
The things we do
To get us through the day
Will be unnecessary
if we bow our heads to pray
And trust the lord to
Provide a better way.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much James 5:16
