Lost, Am I?

I sit here in the murky darkness. A world of pitch black and no more. A place on earth you cannot miss. There is nothing here to love and care for. For when I fell here I gained pure denial. And when asked for truth I foreswore. In words I've hit the rocky bottom. And truth will not verbalize itself. So I am left with no hope of freedom. God sent me here to break me open. To make me spill my beans. But he will need more than a mighty can-opener. Though, I encourage him by all means. I have not thrown away my faith Into the devils trash can. Nor given possession of it Unto his demon garbage man. I have merely lost sight Of this holy thing I used to know. Due to the continuous barrier of no light I suppose there’s a chance That during this year-long night I may catch a glance Of a beam of glowing light. Maybe the cause would be a prayer. And the effect so great, I'd never see dark. Or maybe the Devil's just a good prankster And again I will have been made a fool of. But I pray to the god I grew up loving. Please forgive me for my evil sins And relieve me of this burden.
