The Road I Despise

Confusion seeped in, 
What had I found?
For which rocky path
was my soul truly bound?

You had all of me
some time long ago.
I fell to my knees--
inhibitions let go.

But light and hope faded,
as darkness prevailed.
My attempts for redemption
had dulled and soon failed.

I now take a breath,
as tears flood my eyes.
Have I made it too far
down the road I despise?

Enveloped by terror,
no strength to proceed.
Still I turn toward Your path
and follow Your lead.
