Before Sunrise
I tossed and turned endlessly trying to find comfort but only found discomfort
before sunrise
I battled thoughts that challenged my convictions and morals that nearly drove
me crazy
before sunrise
I struggled to fall asleep for the third night in a row
before sunrise
I thought about the people who wronged me in my past,present,and future and
wondered how I would seek revenge
before sunrise
I wondered what life would be like if I would have never lost my
little brother to a car accident
before sunrise
I was haunted by former sins that I committed and that I tried to erase from my
memory but were being used by the enemy to torment me
before sunrise
I paced the floor anxiously wondering how bills were going to be paid
before sunrise
I wondered if the physical beauty I lost in a recent car accident would ever be
restored
before sunrise
I grew depressed because I felt alone and no one loved me
before sunrise
I was confronted by my insecurities and questioned my worth
before sunrise
I searched endlessly for peace but only found confusion
before sunrise
I hid in shame hoping that the temporary darkness of the night would be
permanent and cover the shame,torture,and confusion I had suffered
throughout the night
But the sun arose and I got up with it
Its bright rays illuminated my mind and allowed me to see
Today is a new day
Last night was My Last night of
Pain
