Tear the Curtain
I lay alone in the silence
Torn by words of violence
Hiding behind my veil
Someday it'll break
I say
One day no longer fake
I want to break free
I want you to save me
I want to tear down this covering
No longer left in silent hovering
I want to come out into the light
No longer hidden in shadows
I won't go away without a fight
No more wallowing in the shallows
Tear this veil
Don't let me fail
Break the curtain
I know it's uncertain
But I'm done hiding behind my covering
I'm ready to finally start discovering
So tear the curtain behind which I hide
I'm done living in fear I'm coming outside
I'll learn to confide
Break free and glide
No longer in fear
Stay with me stay near
I've torn my curtain
Of this I'm certain
I'm not controlled by doubt any longer
I'm living in faith, here I'll grow stronger

Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in doubt or fear, but I remind myself that I need to have faith and trust God. And when I do that, it's like the curtain (my fear that's blocking the light,) is torn in two, like the curtain that tore when Jesus died on the cross to take the penalty for sins. And that helps me. So whatever your curtain might be, relationships, addictions, fears, or whatever it is. YOU CAN, break away from that. And get past it. It's hard. But that curtain CAN BE TORN. Especially with God. There's nothing impossible with God.
