21 Grams

They say they understand you, that they've "been there too." But how do they know? What can that do? Sympathy can only go so far when you're dealing with a broken heart. It's a delicate place to be, in the middle of your misery. A word, a song can change direction. Give you the courage to make correction. You're mistakes can only teach you so much, until they become your bearable crutch. Justifying what's wrong with what's right; contemplating emotions throughout the night. Lost in a room full of mirrors. A distorted imagine of yourself polluted with fear. 10% of your brain puts use to what's useless. While 90% is busy being hopeless. Watch yourself as you being to lose control. It's your firm set gear that the world has now stole. You'll fight to get it back with everything you have. And once you do, there's no stopping you. You can hear it's music as it sings. You function by the life that it brings. 
Inside each of us is a beating heart; pumping blood like a work of art. Individuality is what makes us unique. Separated by a code to keep us from being meek. And when this DNA begins to fail, 
I'll take my 21 grams and to Heaven I'll sail. I'll leave behind what made me die to enter into eternal life. You never understood, no matter how hard you tried. I kept my fingers crossed and went for the ride. I listened with ease at to what you had to say; maybe the answer to make it go away. But as much as they told me "everything will be okay," it wasn't until I felt it that I'd believe what they say. No amount of words, time, or replacements, can fill that empty gap hollow with displacement. Stop pointing fingers and take your own blame. Give it God to take away your shame. It's a sinful nature we're born into, but that's no excuse to do what you want to. Up and down this roller coaster I'll go, but there's only one thing that I need to know. 
I am made new and beautifully made. His love is true and I am saved. 
Sincerely,
Stephanie
