Crucify the Bullies In My Head

from Call & Response by Dale C. Fredrickson, Poet

/

lyrics

crucify the bullies in my head

my head is full of troubling songs
God really doesn’t love me
God probably doesn’t care
who would cry if I was gone

tracks of doubt sound on sound
babbling jabbering droning on
faster and faster frenzied
i’m trapped on a not-so-merry-go-round

i don’t know how to slow down
i don’t know why I hold onto lies
i don’t know if I’ll outgrow them
do you care if I drown

there’s something capturing about your life
there’s something about your call “Be still”
there’s something compassionate about your death

doubts keep jabbing, spinning
can you crucify the bullies in my head?
will you roll over fictions with a stone?

won’t you raise me
in the mystery
of your creation song?
