The Forgotten Side

 

I use to walk the road that was narrow

My joy flew high like the sparrow

Your awesome love reaches down into my marrow

 

I enrolled in a believing school

Unknowing they were deceiving fools

Thinking that my heart would surely gain

They added a new kind of pain

They preached in God’s name

Their walk and talk were not the same

 

Not knowing when or how

Lasting up until now

My faith began to give me doubt

 

I will never be good enough with my deeds

They sowed many angry seeds

I did not know where it would lead

 

My heart became untouchable

‘Christians’ made me unreachable

I had to learn to be unemotional

What I carried was unspeakable

 

My heart used to be soft and fond

Criticism formed a thick hard bond

 

My personality was kind and tender

I was as sensitive as a glass fender

 

Where did this part of me hide?

I need to find this forgotten side
