The Whisperer

I was standing on the edge
I longed for a new beginning
But I couldn’t look down
No, I couldn’t look down
I’m a coward
A million voices screamed in my head
And I felt sure that I would give in
So why couldn’t I now?
Why couldn’t I now?
Your voice was louder
By design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I needed
Quiet words
Soothe the hurt
Whisperer
And though I struggle through the days now
It helps to know that you are listening
So I just wait it out
I’ll wait this out
By the hour
By design God gave me feelings
And by design they shall not kill
But when the noises overwhelm me
I feel sure that they will
Oh, liberation comes in whatever form to save me
I hit bottom, and then the whisper comes
You whisper in the breeze
Whispers that I needed
Quiet words
Soothe the hurt
Whisperer
