when in randomly gathered moments
i can find infinite ways to criticize
to pick, and gnaw, and tear shards
from my heart
forever sinking to the bottom
covered in decaying thoughts

after all, I can't even stand
to look at my face in the mirror
how could You in Your right mind
see anything in me
worthwhile to redeem?

when i can't remember
when i mess up
when i fall in my own hole
You lift me up
and never let me go
