“Still Standing in the Dark”
“Still Standing in the Dark”
I am tired in places sleep can’t reach,Where prayers echo before they land.I’ve learned how to smile with a fractured soul,And shake hands with grief like an old friend.
I carry days that never made sense,Nights that asked questions God didn’t answer out loud.I’ve screamed into silence, begged for a sign,And whispered faith through a mouth full of doubt.
There are wounds no one ever sees,Because I learned early how to be strong.I held the world together with shaking handsWhile quietly wondering how long.
I’ve bled in rooms full of people,Felt invisible under fluorescent light.I’ve done everything right on the outsideAnd still lost every fight at night.
I’ve loved with my whole damn heart,And watched it be misunderstood.I gave grace when I needed rescue,And called it “growth” because I should.
Sometimes I envy the broken who break,Who fall apart and finally rest.But I was built to endure the storm,Even when endurance feels like a test.
God, I’m still here, but I’m so worn thin.Still breathing, but barely whole.If this is the road to becoming new,Why does it cost so much of my soul?
If You’re near, then sit with me here,In the quiet where courage fades.Don’t rush the healing, don’t dress the wound,Just stay while the pain says what it needs to say.
Because I’m not faithless, I’m just exhausted.Not lost, just aching for home.Still standing in the dark, Lord—But standing is all I’ve known.
