When I’m triggered, I don’t need you to meltdown, too.
When I’m triggered, I need you to see I’m drowning in a cortisol pool.
I’m drowning from the past…..a story that you don’t see.
There’s a pain that waits inside to flood me across time,
Weakening my body, myself, and my rational mind.
Love me in spite of the hurt…the hurt that breaks down my soul and tells me I’m not enough.
You say you are here for me,
But I’m languishing inside, surviving one day,
Nay, one moment at a time.
I don’t know who I am.
At times, I put a face on that’s not mine,
I’m in a race that I’ll never win.
Are the answers with you?
I obsess about myself, my hurts, my losses, my unworthiness.
But you say place my gaze upon Jesus
To have “all my horrors and distractions of life to fall away.”
He can save me if I only hold tightly to Him and His love,
An anchor to my soul, keeping me from being washed away by emotions, a flood.
Help me hold onto you, seeing my salvation in your love.
Heal my heart, body, and soul.
Help me to feel and know your love deep inside, soothing my spirit when connected to yours.
He gives me Himself, that goodness…….a warm feeling in my soul.
He helps me forgive myself from the stressful moments.
God is our relief, He can be enough,
He comforts me and heals my broken heart.
Keep your eyes on Jesus and let the horrors fall away.
You are not how others see you or how you see yourself.
You are worthy and forever loved.
Take His hand.
