I felt scared and alone, 
just wanted to hide every time. 
I try to be honest;
I did nothing, just thought I was strong,
but really I was weak. 
Needed to reach out for help, 
but was too afraid to speak. 
I was frightened for my life; 
I had nowhere to turn. 
As much as it has hurt me,
you’d think I would learn. 
Scared beyond imagination, 
just curled up in a ball, 
I did nothing but lay in my bed 
and just stared at the wall. 
I hit rock bottom; 
I don’t know what to do. 
I need to reach out for help,
but I ask myself who? 
I ask for God’s guidance 
and to reach out His hand 
to give me the courage, 
to admit I’m powerless. 
Yes, I finally understand. 
I finally opened my eyes and my heart.
Surprise! I see 
the Lord my Savior 
standing right next to me. 
I now can be brave 
where I was once weak, 
not afraid to talk 
where before I wouldn’t speak.
I know I won’t be perfect;
mistakes surely will be done. 
Now I can face them 
and no longer will I run.
