Something More than Me

I have lost whatever sense I had left,
And I can’t find the things that used to be mine.
I have put this overwhelming selfishness aside,
And I have run so far away from this addicting pride.

I want to escape from this loneliness,
I want to drowned in your endless crowds,
I want to scream so very loud.

I have lost the once decent speech,
And I can’t find the words to say.
Another day this price is to be paid,
Only if you would have stayed.

I want to trade this lonely heart,
I want to rip this one clean apart.
I want a brand new start.

I want to be free from this loneliness.
I want you to surround me.
I want to be something more than me.

Man, this poem definitely speaks to how I have felt many times in my life. It's amazing, how alone we can feel, even in times where we know God is there with us -- that emptiness still seems to fill us and threaten to break us.

Yeah, I have this feeling a lot, and sometimes I just wish everything was different, but I have God and He is all I need.
