I know how you feel,
You are not alone.
I know the hurt and pain,
How deep it goes.
I know the shame you feel,
It is not your fault.
I know what you are thinking,
They are not looking at you.
I know you love him,
And hate him at the same time.
I know what it feels like
That no one cares for you.
I know there are secrets.
You have kept them for a long time.
I know there is one
Who knows what they are.
I know it is hard for you
To trust someone again.
I know you can go to Him.
He loves you so much.
I know He can help you.
Jesus Christ is His name.
I know how you can reach Him,
Just call out His name.
I know He will send others.
They will share your pain.
I know things will change.
He changed them for me.
