Visions of your future
And dreams you will follow
Showing you the way
His Hand will ever guide you
Through the paths of this life
Into the next

I call out in the night
Crying to the heavens
Demons torment my soul
Despair and anguish
They consume my heart
I fight the temptation
To to give in
And end it all
To surrender to the darkness again
At the bottom of the deepest pit
There in my personal hell
I find the Light to escape
And the Way to relief
I find refuge
In nail scarred hands

Frozen in time
My past haunts me
I cannot move forward
If I do I may hurt
If I don't I may die
I am lost
Confused
Unsure of how to move
From here to anywhere
I cannot continue
With all this chaos in my soul
I feel nothing
And everything
I am stuck
Frozen in time

The pain has returned
Brought on by another
Disappointment and anger
Nothing feels right any longer
The pain consumes again
Unsure of where to go
And how to progress
Afraid of the future
And of repeating the past

Shattered and broken
The pieces are out of place
There is no order
Just chaos and pain
Confusion and depression
Spiraling downward
Toward an end I cannot see
The Light tries to reach me
But the Darkness pulls me away
Deeper into the abyss
The Hell that is my mind

Thoughts race through my mind
But words will not form
Emotions flow through me
But I know not how I feel
The Emptiness has returned
And has swallowed me again
I live again in darkness
Fighting to see the Light
(And against it)
