Hurled Into the Depths

cloaked in the dark waves of a Kachikau winter night; the last faint gleam of hope glide, scared out my wits, no one by my side, who can i trust? even my own shadow abandons me when i am in darkness! My presumptuous heart deceived me! hurled me into depths deeper than Sheol, i have become psychologically lifeless the path behind me is full of broken dreams. death drenched my thoughts in red, my soul is bald and filled with ashes of a mind burned to crisp, the pain of my future has no cure! a broken soul in pulsing pain, the forces of selfishness and selflessness whip my conscience; life beats me like a constant dream... i have fallen prey of my own evil deeds. where is the road to the home of light? where is the road to the house of righteousness? Lord you disciplined me... and i have been disciplined like an untrained calf i ask for your forgiveness...
