On Nothing

When I woke up, I couldn’t feel my arms.
They felt as if they weren’t my own.
I don’t remember if I really slept at all;
I might have been out building walls

How can I stand and hold up this great wall?
And if it falls then I might blow away.
What’s wrong? Can’t he see how hard I’ve tried?
I’m numb inside. I’m done tonight.

This morning found me out of action and alone.
I’d lost command of all I thought I owned.
My friends all called me to make sure I was well,
But I never made it to my phone.

How can I stand and hold up this great wall?
And if it falls then I might blow away.
What’s wrong? Can’t he see how hard I’ve tried?
I’m numb inside. I’m done tonight.

All this potential has messed up my whole day:
A storm of times and overlapping things.
This information has left me overwhelmed;
I’ve no idea where I should go.

How can I stand and hold up these great walls?
And if it falls and I might blow away.
What’s wrong? Can’t he see how hard I’ve tried?
I’m numb inside. I’m done tonight.

  2. keep holding on.

    avril is hardly as inspiring as Bible passages, but somehow that line jumped out at me. Perhaps God can speak through Avril too? Perhaps. You are so loved. Always.
