The Light

One deep dark hole that swallows my soul
and tears crying out for help
Lost in this feeling that seems to be
stealing my being and sense of self.
Wanting to run and never look back; yet
feeling vulnerable and under attack
from the life I knew that was so lonely &
blue that doesn't go away
So I run once more to an open door hoping
to see the light
I hit my knees and beg you please
Lord listen to me
Lift me away from all of this pain and let
the sunshine through the rain
Hold me tightly in you arms, keeping me
away from all of the harm
Then you spoke to me; my child you are
forever in my sight
Look to me I am the way and the light
