Today was our day retreat. Today I finally let myself feel everything I'd hidden away all semester. I cried. Hard. But I still couldn't open up in my vulnerability. I left the room to weep because I didn't want anyone to see me cry. Shows how much I've regressed, huh? I haven't been in the practice of hiding my tears since my junior year of high school. But I was able release a little bit of the stress I've had. On the way back, I wrote some lyrics. They are reminiscent of the worship stations we did today which focused on hope, peace, humility and strength. Also, on Friday during class we used art as an outlet. I painted a picture of light breaking through a brick wall and penetrating darkness. On this picture I wrote the phrase "Love breaks down walls." I thought of it as I was writing. Here it is:
How do you put words to feelings?
How do you make sense of what you've seen?
On solid ground I lost my footing
And I don't know where to go
Please show me
Walk with me
Breathe peace into my life
Hope into my heart
Draw me humbly to my knees
To rise again with a strength that's not my own
Please show me
Walk with me
You can try not to feel
But love breaks down walls
Love breaks down walls
Show me how to break these walls
