Never Hurt

I was thinking about different songs that I have written. This is a verse from a song called "Never Hurt" that is one of my favorites. It is something that just came from my heart. I hope that people can get something from it.

"Never Hurt"
1st Verse

I'm thinking about my past life/used to be the masked type
wanted all these dreams to shine bright just like a flash light
Not tryin to live the fast life/to get my cash right
But speaking heart leaking as if this was just my last night
Giving everything inside me/all that I try to be
Paint a picture bright to to see of my hearts diary
Never wanted to be a roll model/no body to follow
The pressure building up this pill to hard to swallow
Expectations getting high now/needing a time out
They tell me to fly now/I'm screamin fly how
Cause these shackles are weighing to much
Say God changes lives so I pray for a touch
Everyone else telling me I'm praying to much
Say tears heal wounds so now I'm saving them up
Maybe one day I'll make it out of this mess
Be strong enough that I'll be passing the test
But for right now hear my humble request
Confess I'm out here just doing my best
Seems liver every body's coming at me from every direction
Got me stressin confessin I'm needing some body's protection
In every pain this lesson/this pain turns to depression
Wonder if this is all I get for all the blood I've invested
I'm trying to make a difference/trying to make them listen
Lies caused a division that's got me locked within this prison
They say Jesus has risen so I'm praying for a visit
They say he'll only come if I take his life and live it
But I've seen so many people live for as just a gimmick
That now I dont receive him whenever these people send it
Cant help it I have a wall from these past hurts
Some scream some cry their wicked laughs hurt worse
Cause their taking joy out of my pain
So I'm praying God wont let them hurt me the same.

Basically this is just about trying to do the right thing even when it seems that everything is against me. It's from a time where I really did feel that the people that were supposed to support me didn't. The rest of the song goes on to explain that no matter what is going on I am going to keep going, and keep trying.
