Light Within the Dark

Blind within my dark, I've stumbled and I've faltered confused and full of fear, not knowing what is real. I've sinned and made mistakes, have fought my share of demons I've prayed for death to come to end the way I feel. Though I've known much pain and had my share of sorrows and on my burdened soul lay sins that I contrive. Still within the dark there is a light that shines there and with His guiding light I know I will survive. Through His word He's said that all the things I've come to are the things that He has wanted me to know. I pray to be forgiven, for strength and the endurance to make it to the day His reasons He will show. My soul is light and dark and it has many facets has felt the Holy Spirit, has known both joy and love but even when it's black it still does not know hatred for this and so much more I'm blessed by God above.
