Just Like Me
I won’t give in again
I’m not dumb enough
I won’t let the world hurt me
I keep it in its cuffs
I don’t want to open up
Thats when people hurt you the most
The tell you they care and you’re loved
But they’ll stop the act and reveal the foes
I’ll keep my heart locked away
You can’t have it in your possession
“But I’m nice” I’ve hear that before
I think I’m going to dodge this lesson
I’ll push away my friends
They lead me on dark paths
I don’t want them to teach me wrong
I don’t want to change how I act
I’d rather die than let you near
You caused my pain and left me alone
I wish you best wherever you go
You’re a weight that I have to hold
My father God
I understand
I’ve done my wrongs
And butchered your plan
This isn’t who I’m supposed to be
But isn’t my pain validated
They hurt me lord I didn’t hurt them
How am I to be unsaturated
How could I forgive like you
I gave them kindness
But they let it fall through
Why am I such a mess
How do you forgive the people that do you wrong
I’m insecure in all areas because of them
They laughed, they taunted, they outcasted me
How do I forgive the ones that sin
Wait… No… I…
They’re just like me
If all sin is the same
Then they’re just like me
But mine are mistakes God
I didn’t know any better
I’ve bullied and hurt
But I didn’t know any better
They had to know what they were doing
Those jokes, those hurtful jokes
Wow… I’ve done the same
But I didn’t know
I said things I shouldn’t
Hurt those who didn’t deserve it
Isn’t every bad action a mistake
Because we are always learning
I seen what you mean father
Everyone sins
We don’t know any better but you teach us
Thats why you forgive…
Even if we rebel as a choice
Its a mistake in reality
Because we’re still dumb enough to make the choice
Maybe thats why I hear your voice
To let their actions go
And move on
I’d want them to forgive my mistakes
So I was it the wrong
I’ll still stay protective
My trust isn’t a toy
But I’ll care for your creation
Even if I’m annoyed
You’re teaching have shown me
there isn’t a point to fighting
Love them and forgive
Because they’re just like me…
