I want so badly
Something which I do not have
Something which I've never had
I still want it
It hasn't gone away
This aching
This desire
It will not leave me
This fire that will not be quenched
It only cries
For freedom
For expression
For release.

God help me
Drop these fetters
God help me
Find the peace
And the strength
To do things right
To keep this fight,
To not give up
To never give in
Until I win this battle
Over my own
Weakness
and sin.
