CALCIFIED

         Stumbling through the wilderness
         I've reached a wall so high
         Preventing me from going on
         I can no longer lie
         About the way that I have changed
         I thought my past was dead
         But still I am my selfish self
         I am myself instead.

         True, some parts have been refined
         Strongholds have been broke
         My head is full of victory
         My heart is still a joke
         Calcified by years of me
         Unable to be soft
         Lord I cry out in my pain
         I hold it all aloft.
