What Is the Meaning?

What is the Meaning? 


Looking into the depths of my heart, mind, and soul.
Wondering what; would make me feel whole.

What is the meaning of life and self worth.
Worrying about things; here on this earth?

Comparing life next to death..
At times; my mind fights to confess.

Why am I living? When I'd rather be silenced forever?
In the confines of nothingness, severed.

My heart, soul and mind, twisted up in the whirl of confusion.
What is real and what is living in delusion.

To look upon my wrists and imagining the end.
Trials tormenting my soul and wanting the "urge" to win.

In the realm of the moment; thoughts racing around.
In that familiar time and somber place, I lay my weary head down.

Whispering a prayer, I close my eyes.
My ceaseless thoughts, finally subside.

I looked down again upon my wrists and thought I had a plan.
Now feeling thoughts of shame, remembering Christ's pierced hands.

In my heart He tenderly whispers, "take one day at a time."
"Because as promised, I will always give you peace of mind."

We find comfort when our trials become heavy. All we have to do is ask. Vince
