Life has thrown so much at me lately
I don't know if I can go on
I am just broken down
I don't know what to do
I can't continue on in this way
All I want is a little peace in my heart
But that is hard to come by.

I pray everyday for forgiveness
But that's hard for people to do
It's probably the hardest thing that you can ask of a person
To find forgiveness in their hearts
But still I pray hoping for that day.

No one knows how hard I am on myself
They keep pounding on me hard
But I am harder on myself than they ever will be
I take all their critism to heart
And torture myself everyday.

If only people could see inside my head
Would they be so cruel?
Would they continue to torment me?
Would they apologize for their wickedness?
Or would they ignore it and just walk on by?

All I know to do is keep on praying
And one day God will reach down
To protect His child
I know that God is going to touch the hearts
Of the wrong-doers and help them forgive.
