I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed 

I keep telling myself I am blessed.

I am blessed that I endured and survived,

At the gates of success, I arrived.

I am blessed I fell a million times

Yet got up a million one times.

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed,

Over and over to myself I said.

Didn’t I overcome impossible trials? 

With a broken spirit, I have walked many miles.

Yet why do I sink in a quicksand of tribulation?

Forever in search of peace, being denied my absolution …

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed,

Believing the rules that are tried and tested.

But I feel so trapped in a web of lies,

I am stuck in a continuous whirlpool of shattered ties.

I console this foolish heart of mine

Amidst dark clouds, I wait for the sun to shine.

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed 

I tell my tired soul to get some rest.

Time, it seems, has stood still for me,

While others blissfully continue on their journey.

I fall behind like a forgotten mist

That was once someone’s reason to exist…

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed 

Every waking moment I am in pain and oh so stressed. 

Even though I am that girl with the broken smile 

Life seems to pass me by, it’s been a while.

Lying in my bed with a blanket full of lies

I assure God, believe me, she tries.
