Joanne Liaw Poet Rhyme

The Pit and Battle of Despair

I'm plunging into a pit of despair
The burden of despair I cannot bear
I see no light in this bottomless pit
Down I go, nearer to where darkness sits

I am tired of fighting this battle
The fight to live is just unbearable
I'm failing; I'm falling; I'm faltering
God knows I've tried to fight, but I'm losing

My knowledge of God feels unreal to me
I know He's good; His goodness I can't see
His love, grace and mercy I cannot find
For hopelessness engulfs my feeble mind
