Fearless
a reminder to myself on dark days
I smile and laugh with all my teeth
Because feigned happiness is toothless
Safe behind the motions of politeness
‘Cause my friends are uncomfy if I feel worthless
Or I say I’m drifting aimless
In the ocean known as Loveless
And they say that I should care less
But that only means I brush my hair less
And I really should be alone less
‘Cause isolation makes me hopeless
But the act of asking leaves me breathless
I know my anxiety is baseless
And the intrusive thoughts are pointless
But the spiraling is relentless
And leaves me dark and sleepless
So I hide that I am cheerless
Push down the fog that leave me brainless
Bury the shame that’s lurking shapeless
And convince myself that I’m not graceless
But I have a God that says I’m priceless
And that through Him I am blameless
So I will hold my hands up shameless
In a worlds that screams I’m senseless
And I’d do better to be faithless
I will cling to a King who’s deathless
And walk into a bright noon cloudless
Hide ‘neath His wings when I am helpless
Rest in Him when I am restless
And recall when the dark seems endless
That in His love he makes me fearless -
That He is greater than my grief
