Words on the tip of my tongue, but I can't speak Eyes shut tight, but I can't sleep I still remember that afternoon so vividly Brought to a conference to preach But could hardly hear You speaking to me Obsessive thoughts of that hotel window open And fallin out and to my demise floatin Woke me up from my nap again and again Such real anxiety thought it wouldn't end I've rarely ever been depressed But had unwanted thoughts of ending it all Overwhelming stress thought It would be my downfall Perfectionist personality With some OCD tendencies In an unhealthy work place Yea, that's a bad recipe You hear those stories of people who off themselves And you wonder why they would Until those claws grasp at your throat too And you start to think you could Got me asking questions like What if I wasn't there to see my daughters grow What if the only memories they had of me Were mommy's stories of Joe You know I made it out alive But I'll never forget those moments Learning the devil was real And my greatest opponent Trying to blind my eyes So I couldn't see I'm just glad I had a few people Talking to God about me Talk to God about me Talk to God about me Would you talk to God about me The only request I have Is that you would talk to God about me But those desolate spaces Made me, me Somehow those desolate moments Now make me free Because now I know that When I can't begin to hold myself You still hold me God, forgive all of my enemies God, forgive all of my frien-emies Forgive the men who could Never accept me the ones who reject me And the ones that neglect me At the end of this project I'm ok if you doubt me I'm ok if you out me I'm ok if you think that Your life is better off without me But one request I have Would you talk to God about me I'm ok if you doubt me I'm ok if you out me Im ok if you think that your Life is better off without me But one request I have is That you talk to God about me The only request I have is That you talk to God about me Pray for me I didn't leave the church man I'm still here I wrote the previous poem so I could stay in spite of all my fears But I've seen a lot of folks my age dip man And I'm missing my peers I've heard stories from so many younger Pastors that'll bring you to tears I know you shouldn't throw the baby out With the bath water And the mishaps of the church can't be Pinned on the Perfect Christ, Spirit and Father And while acknowledging that truth still It messes with me if I'm keepin' it real It grieves me that because I've stayed Some pastors may think that I don't know how it feels I've seen the worst things in my life Through the local church This hospital for broken people Has gave me my life's greatest hurts And many of her leaders Did more damage than good I wanted to forgive them And for a while I didn't know if I could But I've also seen the best things Through this Broken Body The one for which Christ Had His Body bloodied And though I'm not necessarily trying To convince somebody I still see the church's beauty When the baptismal waters muddied So for those who've been affected by wolves In sheep's clothing Who didn't stick around to see the story's closing And who didn't stick around To see the false Prophets exposing I understand your anger and empathize With your loathing If you've shared the pains of your church Experience and you feel like people Doubt you Or spoke up against injustice only For a community to out you And all of your faith friends moved on As if their lives were better off without you I just want you to know somebody Still talks to God about you If you've shared the pains of your church Experience and you feel like people Doubt you Or spoke up against injustice only For a community to out you And all of your faith friends moved on As if their lives were better off without you I just want you to know that somebody Still talks to God about you Never forget somebody still Talks to God about you If you need somebody let me know And to every young pastor Whose ever left I was almost in your shoes And I'll never forget Waking up in the night In the cold sweats Because of the pressure that came With filling the pulpit And to every youth pastor Who was treated wrong And made to feel like in the ministry You would never belong And it put you and your family Through hell And silenced your voice With no story to tell I just wanted to let you know That I'll still talk to God about you Did they doubt you Did they out you Did they act as if life Was better off without you I'm sure somebody still Talks to God about you Hit me up if you ever need somebody To talk to God about you
