Defeat and Redemption

No man is an island they say
Still, amidst this crowd and noise I feel lonely
I badly want someone to talk to 
But words don’t come easy 

Millions of things are running in my head
But my lips find it hard to utter
As I tossed and turned in my bed
Also wondering what really matters

I try to find the courage to fight
Trying to tell myself “It’s gonna be all right”
Hoping in time everything will be okay
But in the end, loneliness still finds me

In this eerie and cold prison
Darkness is my constant companion 
And that loud voice that becomes my friend
It keeps telling me “I’m beyond broken which nobody can ever mend” 

It’s a daily reminder of a failure that I am
That I have no choice, not even a chance
And redemption is something I cannot hold with my hand
And I should just keep doing this silly dance

I want to get out but I feel weak
I’m getting used to this losing streak
Should I give up and stop struggling?
Should I continue to put on a mask that’s laughing? 

My head feels light as my chest feels heavy
No voice came out as I cry for help. “Please... somebody!”
I feel so helpless as this darkness envelops me
And let the monster in my head consumes me slowly

From this ongoing battle I want to be free
From this pain, this chaos, and this misery
And so I kneel down, before you I humbly pray
"My GOD, I have forgotten you. I was proud, forgive me.”

Message from the author: 

Whatever you're going through right now. Know that you are not alone. u
Surrender everything to Him and He will help you win your battle. 
Trust that, this too shall pass and you will come out victoriously in the end. 
God bless you :-)  <3 <3 <3
