Journey To You

JOURNEY TO YOU

Darkness in my soul
It chills me
An eternity of mental anguish
Haunting me
I have lived this way 
For so long
That I accept it as normal~
Languishing without direction
The war within rages
I cannot see the enemy
But I know he’s present
I cannot hide nor escape
So I seek to pacify
To bargain with
This persistent adversary
Maybe he is not
So dangerous after all
Maybe he doesn’t even exist~
But the darkness persists
And I have to break free
From this suffocating oppression
I am dying…
I must breathe 
The air of freedom
HELP!
Help me God
To be free
It took me an eternity
To come to this place
And say
FORGIVE ME
I want to be 
Completely yours
