Modern Lamentation

Painful Night


Part 1

Tonight is a painful night


I watched another prince movie,

Being entertained once again

And strangely hurt by the happy ending for the nth time

As they lived happily ever after

My dream of the same ending is killed at the same time

I realize it won't happen to me

And it hurts

Maybe I desire it that is why it hurts

Well maybe it will happen I just don't know when

I just wanted to destress from the toxic adult problems

I was convincing my younger brother that  

he is never a disappointment when deep inside me, I am the one who is

But I pray to the Lord and ask forgiveness over and over

And I don't repeat the prayer because of doubt but because my heart really yearns for Him

I know and believe that He will make things turn around

He will provide

I am His child

I lack nothing

And so I thank You Lord

For everything that You have done

And for being an awesome God

No matter the circumstance

I will praise and worship You

Jesus, my Lord and Savior


Part 2

I can't keep the tears from welling up

My nose is not serving its purpose

I thank God for giving me mouth in this case

This migraine is killing me

But I will fight for my life until I see a happy soul

There seems no-one around me who is not hurting

Everyone needs healing including me

That is why we need a Savior and Healer

Jesus is the answer

I pray that everyone will put that in their banner

And stop being a bummer


Part 3

I'm drinking my tears and I'm getting drowned

But still I know there will be sunshine tomorrow

My heart is overwhelmed with pain

but I know God is my healer

God knew pain more than I do

Hence He knows how and when it stops

I just trust the sovereign Creator

who died on the cross for me

such pain while being hung on the tree

is far worse than what I feel today

I am grateful for Him who saved me

because I know at the end of it all

He promised that there will be no more tears,

no more pain, and no more sadness.
