This was written 8 yrs ago.. A dark period of my life. The Abyss Life was a game until recently That's when I chose to stop playing My life is at idle presently And I may no longer be staying. There's one desire I have had in life It eludes me as if it were bait. The love I can't hold causes me strife But maybe it's a predestined fate. To be around this wonderful person Brings to my life great joy. To have this love ever eluding And there in lies life's hateful ploy. I awake in anger and anguish Rocking in a sea of indecision. Knowing that if I leave all of it No definite answers will have been given. The pain is forever growing and growing Happiness seems to forever escape me. He who is all wise and knowing Rescue me from this torrential sea. I go through the motions each day And people see the calm collected me. The facades are quickly falling away No clear chance for serenity. There used to be a distinction Between right and wrong you see. Lies meshed with truths created fusion Has caused me to forget past realities. Though harm was rarely intended No clear reason to call a foul Past behaviors cant be rescinded But how much should've been allowed. We tear at those who attack us Whether the attacks are real or assumed. Saying we're sorry to those we've offended Then the attacks and angers are resumed. Some say our actions reflect patterns Habits conditioned since childhood. We'd re-program most of the patterns If we only understood how we should. This brings forth several issues of life Many which make me feel so used. Accompanied by life's continuous strife Help me God because now I am more confused. Each day is a challenge just to arise To face yet another bleak and empty day. Is it worth the endless fight to stay alive I keep wishing that the hurt would go away. My life's so empty as I see it No reason to continue the fight. With every battle that marks the clock's tick I grow more anxious for the cloak of night. Give me the answers to my questions Show me the way to happiness. Without structure and Guidance I 'm stunned Rescue me from this grasp of the abyss.

Wow! "the cloak of night" I love that phrase. I'm glad you made it through this dark period. |
