I need never to hurt
But I feel pain just the same.
I need never cry
But my eyes still burn from unshed tears.
I need never yell
But my voice demands to be heard.
I need never be lost
Yet my heart at times lies broken.
Why must I torment myself?
Why can't I get along
With the one who is always with me
The one who lies inside me?
Why must I tease and tear down
To judge and criticize
The only one who stands beside me,
Who's inside and tries to guide me?
I desire peace from within
and peace from without.
I no longer wish to carry
this pain about.
I need to grow, to leave my self
To say a fond farewell.
I know what I must do now
I must send him back to hell.
For that is where the voice is from
The one who is never done
Saying all that I do wrong
who puts me down
who thinks he's strong
He's as weak as a kitten
without any claws
I know that now
My Master calls
Be gone with you, oh selfish one
Who thinks of you and no other.
I'll be not by to talk with you,
Today or any other.
Slither back from whence you came
You know who you are for
I am one of God's Angels now
And require you no more.
