suffocation – v2

suffocation

unable to breathe

a weight upon me

the name of grief

shame for what I did

for who I hurt

forever with me

while I walk this earth

a weight on my chest

heavy, like chains

marking me like a tattoo

only by God’s grace

freed from these chains

not by what I have done

God sees me as Jesus

healed of my brokenness

washed of my stain
