I Know That Feeling
Rick Swartzentrover - 05-17-1998

That growing lump that’s in your throat
     and that empty hollow feeling inside your chest
          “Will this feeling ever go away?”
               I know that feeling!
 

That nervous panic as you as you start to cry
     and you realize that you’re not alone
          I will not cry! I will not cry!”
               I know that feeling!
 

That ever asking of the question “Why”
     even though yon know there is no answer
          “Why God, wont you answer why?
               I know that feeling!
 

That undirected auger that builds inside your soul
     And the guilt that follows as you question yourself
           “Do I have the right to feel this angry?”
               I know that feeling
 

I know it because I’ve lived it, I watched my best friend die.
     All those that I once call friends have denied knowing me 
          “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.”
               Yah I now that feeling
   

                                                                   Love. Jesus
