Looking For a Clearer Path

My way was getting so far lost
Confusing and just way off course
Not sure where I took a turn
That was a mistake and wrong
Trying to find a right way back
But I just kept getting smacked
Knocked down every single time
There is no reason or rhyme
Why the path is always blocked
Entrances are closed and locked
No admittance anywhere
I need someone to help me clear
A area area to cross
That wont leave me at a loss
Why is my world in a spin
Over and over again
There's always something after me
This can't be my destiny
Days and weeks are going by
I'm still asking myself why
This never ending torturous
Evil's causing such havoc
On my soul going insane
Never causing hurt or pain
I've been good and kind to others
Now dark clouds surround and smother
Every second, every minute
Of my life that I am in it
Praying for freedom I hope
This downhill, slippery slope
Will soon stop, I'm sent a sign
I can step over the line
Walking out of darkened shadows
Into brightly colored meadows

I love how you describe and visualize what that person going through at first and end it with an inspiring line.

I love that last part, where we can guess maybe the person will walk out of the shadows and into the brightly colored meadows. That is inspiring!
