Sinking in a sea of pain and despair-
I hold out my hand,
But there is no one to reach for it and pull me free;
I find myself sinking down deep into the cold, dark depths.
Hope and beauty are all I have,
As I struggle everyday to remain afloat.
I'm sinking, I'm going under-
Why is my heart full of darkness, fear, and doubt?
Every night, I fight to keep my hope,
That fragile thread which holds my life,
As darkness and pain surround me close,
And despair's hateful blade pierces an aching heart.
Never to be safe again, never to truly smile;
Darkness has found me for it consumes and surrounds me....
Only the grace of God to keep me from going under
As eternal tears continue to sorrowfully flow.
