Please Lift Me From this Nightmare

Dear God, please lift me from this nightmare.
My body has never felt like home,
it doesn't feel like it's my own.
When my body expresses remembered pain,
it's hard for me
not to dwell in shame.
So dear God, please lift this nightmare from me.

Dear God, please lift me from this nightmare. 
I desperately want to let it go,
but I need a hand, for the going is slow.
Despite my intention, despite my desire,
my mind's consumed by the past and its terrible fire.
So dear God, please lift this nightmare from me.

Dear God, please lift me from this nightmare.
I wish my mind could let me rest,
but it can't help but be obsessed
with the terrors of the past.
Please assure me this pain won't last.

Dear God, please lift me from this nightmare.
Dear God, please lift this nightmare from me.
