Breaking the chains

No one understands the pain I feel

Because my tears are silent

No one sees the tears that fall

Because they are invisible

And no one comforts the crying soul

Because it pretends to be happy

I don't shed tears

Because there's no where to shed them

And no one hears my sobs

Because there's no one there to listen

But if I want to be heard,

I must first learn to listen

If someone puts me down,

I will look for a way to be kind,

For that person has a temporary need

To elevate themselves

Because I can let go of anger,

And learn to forgive

I can choose to love someone,

Even if I don't like that person

For love is the most powerful force

in the universe

To know great freedom,

All I have to do is accept them,

And love them

I count my blessings,

Instead of my sorrows

Because I know when others let me down,

I know god is still at my side

He is my hope,

And confidence forever

So I can be free of this burden

Of loneliness,

And hopelessness

So I can be unwound,

From these chains of sorrow

So I can be free,

From this wall of nothingness

If I get knocked down,

I can always get up

Its okay to cry,

when you need to shed sadness

But we must rejoice

in our sufferings

Because we know that suffering

Produces perseverance

Do not conform any longer

To the pattern of this world,

But be transformed

by the renewing of your mind

I am uniquely gifted,

No else can be me

We are always number one

With god no matter what we do
