tight rope
I was walking on a tight rope
 Like a clown. 
 Not knowing which way to turn. 
 I can’t go back .
 And I didn’t want 
 To move forward.
 Afraid of what lies ahead
 Afraid of change .
 
 But one day God came down
 And shook my rope.
 Till I fell .
 
 And I was falling till I broke 
 I hit the bottom shattering in 
 Pieces.
 
 It was the most miserable 
 And sad I’ve ever been .
 And  I didn’t know anyone
  who could help .
 
 So I just stayed broken. 
 And just kept breaking .
 
 Till one day I saw god through people. 
 I’d never seen that .
 I thought they were crazy. 
 Or putting on a show.
 
 I stayed one month .
 Till I realized
 It was no show .
 And that
 God was angry at me. 
 And for the first time 
 In a long time 
 I prayed.
 And let god in to 
 My heart .
 
 It wasn’t easy .
 But who said it would be? 
 And now I’m not the same .
 
 I can’t go back I’m finally on 
 Something stable.
 And I’m not 
 That poor lost hurting 
 Kid trying to walk a 
 Tight rope while 
 Juggling my life .
 
 The truth hurt 
 So I lied.
 I thank god he saved me
 On new years “08”.
 
 And you know what gods 
 Going to shake ,
 Your tight rope too 
 Unless you turn 
 To him now. 
 
 Get off that tight rope 
 And turn to god .
 He will catch you 
 If you let him.
