yet Your mercy remains

too beautiful..
in fact it just sooo true that it hit straight to the heart..

It is as if like my heart is surrounded by a hard shell 
One that seems unbreakable 
 It hardens more as time goes by 
 While spreading through my body 
 And soul I seek out comfort in others 
 But I am disappointed every time 
 Everyone hears but no one listens 
 No one understands 
 And no one sees 
 Not you 
 Or you 
 Or you 
 But You know what it is that hurts 
 And how this loneliness on this Earth is a burden 
 I have let You down over and over again 
 Yet Your mercy remains 
 I have ran away from You over and over again 
 Only to come back and find that You haven’t left 
 And Your mercy remains 
 I’m not worthy of Your blessings 
 I don’t thank You enough 
 Nor do I praise You as much You deserve to be praised 
 Yet Your mercy remains 
I have wronged myself 
I create mountains of sins 
I run around in circles 
Seeking comfort elsewhere 
And Your mercy remains 
I lay my head to sleep at night 
Becoming lifeless 
When the sun rises 
You allow me to come back 
And while I get up to face a new day 
I don’t express my gratefulness 
Simply by saying the word “Alhamdulillah” 
Yet Your mercy remains 
When will I learn? 
When will I truly wake up? 
When will I realize that I am passing through this world as a stranger? 
That this isn’t my abode to eternally live in 
That this world is a prison for a believer 
And paradise for another 
What will it take? 
Rid this darkness from my soul that I have brought upon myself 
Crack the walls that I have created around my heart 
Allow Your light to illuminate through 
You have listened 
And answered 
You have blessed me day after day with more time to 
Change 
Repent 
Forgive 
And prepare 
You have shielded me continuously 
And I am not as grateful as much as I should be 
And I do not praise You as much as You deserve to be 
Yet Your mercy remains.
