Tempted Tears


The tears that drop from her eyes, Don't make her weak.
They are needed for her to make it through the week.
Her pain makes her unique.
She hides all pain behind her smile.
She’s sweet.
But the world tried to make her sour.
They tried to make her admire.
Unnecessary luxuries.
And idolize celebrities.
The world wanted her to feign for things she didn't need.

It taught her she wasn't good enough.
When her path began to get rough.
They told her to just give up.
So where do she turn when it seems like everyone is turned against her?
When happiness is hard to picture.
She turns to scripture…

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
