Favorite Quote:
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of Gods great love, we are not consumed. His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

What's going on here
I don't belong here
I'm too guilty to be free
And what are these changes
My life's rearranging itself
I'm so sick of feeling
Guilty, unprepared
Can I even say the word no
And what have I to do
But feel a stranger to myself
What have I been doing
On my own

It's a good piece, but I feel that you could expanded on it a bit more. It was too short for me.
