Oh, Where Is the Light?

My existence is shadowed by a tormented soul
Where light of hope is unable to permeate
My being, my actions, they’re all out of control

The spiral of wonder runs fast through my thoughts
As the darkness of life falls violently on
Wishing, praying that some hope can be caught
