The Pit and Battle of Despair

I'm plunging into a pit of despair The burden of despair I cannot bear I see no light in this bottomless pit Down I go, nearer to where darkness sits I am tired of fighting this battle The fight to live is just unbearable I'm failing; I'm falling; I'm faltering God knows I've tried to fight, but I'm losing My knowledge of God feels unreal to me I know He's good; His goodness I can't see His love, grace and mercy I cannot find For hopelessness engulfs my feeble mind
