In the Mouth of Madness

Another night needing some spiritual advice
Seeking the signs to spark my mind
Wishing I knew the way to entice 
Forgiveness from god for each sin she finds

The deep seated doubt felt by people like me
Every cold pain that runs through my chest 
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy 
Convincing myself this is where I greet death

The panic attacks and depression hit hard
In addition to that, I rarely get sleep
In most ways, I’m dazed, just lost and bizarre 
Luckily, no one ever notices me.

Someday I pray it all goes away
So I can finally find my own peace
Feeling happiness naturally, every day
Finally feel something besides self defeat 

Right now, any comfort helps
