I Cry… Hide My Tears

I cry in the shower to hide my tears,
The water masking the weight of my fears.
So much pain in my heart, burying love within,
Choked by the sorrow, where hope once had been.

Failure lurks around every bend,
Dreams collapsing, too broken to mend.
Faith once sturdy now fades, turns thin,
A ghost of the strength I held deep within.

A man adrift, no compass, no guide,
Wrestling shadows, a storm inside.
Control has vanished, I’m sinking fast,
Grasping for anchors that never last.

I cry to my Heavenly Father above,
In whispers trembling, I plead for His love.
“Grant me strength, forgive my despair,
You’ve told me before what burdens I bear.”

But oh, in this moment, so weak I feel,
My wounds too heavy, too slow to heal.
Yet even in doubt, I trust in His plan,
For even in breaking, I am still a man.

So I rise from the waters, my soul laid bare,
With faith, though faint, and a whispered prayer.
For the tears that fall will water the seed,
Of strength renewed when my spirit’s freed.
