Speak Into Me

Posted by Terrence Johnson

Anger as my crutch
Keeping my balance as I walk
Holding onto the sight of my brother
In the car, taken by a drunk driver
Suppressing the rage I have
A slow burn
Speak into me
That I no longer have to hold this pain
Speak forgiveness into my life
Letting go of my crutch
Choosing to stand again

Attention I crave
With my seductive lips and my curvatious hips
Knowing that all eyes are one me
I take what I want, no questions asked
Feeling like I'm in control
Letting no man take mine again
The feeling of violation and hurt
I cannot shake
So I take advantage of the situation
Speak into me
That I will love myself again, totally

Desperate thinking
Should I, shouldn't I
Holding the gun to my head
Wanting the tailspin of life to stop
Thinking this is my only way of controlling life
The best life does not include me
Seeming like the dark clouds never leave
Speak into me
My life is worth living
My life is important
I'm important to me

The relief of the needle
The injection of beautiful poison
Escape from the world
High in my mind
Low to the ground in reality
Trapped by guilt
Motivated by denial
Speak into me
Don't let me escape myself
Let me deal with my problems
Own how I feel

Snapshots into the lives of many
Vivid and real
The events of life are difficult to manage
Some have more difficulties than others
There are always escapes to situations
Sometimes someone has to show the door
A person to speak into the situation
Lead them out of darkness
Help them restart their lives
Maybe you have been in the same situation
Until someone spoke into your life
