Drug me to sleep,
It’s the only way now.
I have thoughts so deep,
That rest won’t allow.

Guilt and hate stir in my brain,
Words and actions that strangle me dry.
A year of depression now has gone by,
My heart will forever carry the pain.

I cannot win this war of attrition,
I give up and give in,
I curl up to offer my submission,
My life is broken with sin.

I only have one saving grace,
The hope that God may shine upon me with His face.
I don’t have anyone to live for but the Lord,
To continue on to see what He has for me stored.
