Come Forth

Living in a dark, gray world, trying to find your way around, You can't see cuz it's to dark. So dark...your soul cry's out a shrilling scream that awakens the depths within. You think your going crazy but then you see your reflection staring back at you from the black shadows lingering on the walls.
The walls, brick by brick, prick by prick you put them there, all though in your minds eye it was they who made you what you are today. Just a dirty city girl looking for love in all the wrong places but not so wrong to the world around you.
Step by step, chance by chance you feel yourself slipping away. How long can you keep playing the harlot? One day your sure to get caught because life eventually catches up with you and before you know it time is standing still, the world ain't so big any more and the little girl in you says in a very faint whisper. Can I have another chance?
Alone in the still, quiet dark of the night you wait as if something or someone will come to your rescue knowing full well that your better off dead.
You close your eyes and imagine just for a moment how life could have been, how it should have been and how it wasn't. The strong winds of this world have knocked you down and now your on your last breath and suddenly you see a light amidst your darkness and you wonder why now after all these years...And you hear the words,
"For you are not dead but alive in Christ. Come forth, the time is Now!"
