When we escape to feel or not feel
When we escape to shield ourselves and our hearts
When we escape to find relief in temporary spaces
We prolong our suffering and expose ourselves more
We take the long road to recovery, safety and protection
Even though what we need is closer than our breath
Closer than any person, pharma or experience
We can find what we need in the purity of selfless sacrifice
In love that know no bounds and never ceases - In Christ
The risen one who has experienced the depths of pain and despair
The one who was abandoned, condemned, chained, punished and killed
He knows what it is to feel too much and be devastated
He triumphed it all and offers all His power to you today
All you have to do is ask, right now, right there.
