My hope in sharing this story with you
Is to reach somebody, somewhere
Whose burden lay heavy upon their heart
To know others do love them and care.
Don't close the curtain and hide in a room
Attempting to conceal all your trouble
Tear down the wall and explain to someone
Turn away from the invisible bubble.
When your day turns to dark and cloudy
Transforming to a fierce raging fire
Igniting like straw on a hot summer day
And continuing at night to burn higher.
If you live by yourself it's never easy
But at least try not fighting it alone
Step out from your hiding and holler
"Get me the hell out of this zone"!
If you have journeyed too far in the bubble
And feel that you just cannot talk
The only solution that will quiet you
Is to take hold of God's hand and just walk.
He knows of the pain you experience
And awaits for your calling in prayer
Your thoughts may be loose and scrambled
But His comfort, you'll know that He's there.
If you have an understanding companion
Who will hold you till the fear subsides
Do not shut them out by turning away
For they too feel the pain that you hide.
For we all have our own roads to travel
But it's easier if we try hard to share
Rather than hide in an invisible bubble
Step out so that someone can care.
