From Despair To Hope

I kept waiting to be saved somehow by You Fervently praying for this gut-wrenching pain to end My screams and pleas seem to fall on deaf ears But I didn't realize You were intently listening then Fear had enveloped me like the darkest night There was no moon, nor starry lights Despair and loneliness was all I could see This pitiable soul was a stranger even to me The glimmer of hope I once held so dear Evaporating like morning mist, just disappeared A shell of a person was left behind in its wake Completely withdrawn, numb for preservation sake But something inside of me still wanted to feel I wanted to experience the warmth of the hope You give So I made the decision not to give up but to fight instead I chose to trust You, forgive him, and learn again to live 2/2013 Copyright
