Hopeless Spirits of Mine

You allowed me sink in anguish, 
Dear child
I believed in you, 
But you let me down 
By making me live these lies
I’ve been denied way too many times
My spirits are hopeless 
And below your feet
Repair our broken promises, God
I sought to relieve the gloom in your life
My past seems to repeat itself 
Like a broken record, 
However, I’m frightened of what I’ve become
My decrepit, hollow heart 
Keeps pumping with evil blood cells
I’m infected by perilous hardships
I’m blemished with my own sins
Oh God, 
You saved me from 
Living in distress
