Tough Enough

Tough Enough...

I try to hard to be tough...

but I am not strong enough.

When I am alone and lost, I turn to pain...

But living this way will turn me insane.

I am less then perfect...

I am alone... lost... imperfect.

I worry that no man will want me...

No man will want me after I have let them see.

I thought I was tough...

But now, I realize I am not strong enough.

I wish it wasn't so hard to trust...

My heart hurts so bad, I am afraid it might bust.

I am scared...

But with You, I can do things that I wouldn't have even dared.

I need You to save me...

To open my heart to truth... and open my eyes to see...

That I am smart, beautiful...

respectful, lovable... dutiful.

Show me that without You, I am not tough enough...

I am not strong enough.

Hold me close... don't let me go...

Stand by me while I face my foe...

I need Your hand...

Guide me so I don't get lost in this desert sand.

I am not tough enough...

I just am not strong enough...

Without You...

I just am not... tough enough...
