Despair

by MysteryVixen

Make it go away, I pray, As I lay, Dying in pain

My life wasting away, Color starting to fade, Age and decay

Dreaming of sleep, Dreaming of dreams that no longer come

Beauty and wonder gone

Just pain all-consuming, Suffering alone, Pushing everyone away

Karma they say, Drowning in pain each day

Can’t catch a break

It’s a curse, Until I’m buried beneath earth

April today, will I make it to May

The pain stays, I pray, Please make it go away

I want to be done, Longing to move on

Where will I go, One day I hope to know

More pain, Every day, Time to let go

Leaving behind a life of disaster

No more time passing by, No more sleepless nights

No more hell when I wake

Peace flooding through me with the blood in my veins

Joy all-consuming, No more misery

I am not alone, The lord will guide me home

Refuge that I seek is closer than I think

Time for healing, Time to live a life with grace

Eyes open, Moving at a steady pace

A chance to begin again, Rising from the ashes, Waking to new chances

Letting go of what can’t be changed, While growing within

I am strong, I live on

Strength when I feel weak, Courage when I’m afraid

One day, No longer consumed by pain

Love has brought relief, Through love I am found

Each day to pass love on, Fresh air to breathe in, Exhale the pain is gone

Longing to live on, Knowing that I’m not alone

Feeling safe at home, Trusting what’s unknown

Pain gone in the wind, Finding peace within

New life to begin, In life I can win

Love shining down in rays, Stronger each day, With every breath I take

Oh what a dream, To live without pain

Oh the moves I’ll make, Excited to live each day

Enjoying what I enjoy, Loving a life living, Taking in each moment

Being more aware, No longer wishing for an end

Time to begin, A life without pain

Answers to what I’ve prayed, Full of joy every day

No more pain whisking time away, It is this that I pray

Maybe… one day, A day without pain, Oh what a day

I beg, I want to lay, No longer in pain

To make the most of each day, Will this day ever come, Will this life ever begin

You don’t know me, It is pain I became

I am not defeated, Frozen as I stand, Finding strength, I press on

Rebuilding my life after it came crashing down, Rubble all around

Astronomical disaster

I am resilient, I survive

I laugh more than I cry, I am healing

I am finding joy, I’m afraid but I am brave, I feel weak but I am strong

I’ve been beat down, but I live on

Because of love, I move on

Greater things to come, I may have lost some

But I keep my faith, Every stride I make, Each step I take, Better than before

Life is a blessing, The greatest gift given, To live

I was lost, But I’ve been found, The lord is my savior

I am not a victim of life that’s happened, I am a survivor of the life I am living

Step out of the shadow I had become, I am rebuilding, Up and down as time moves on

A life worth living, Better each morning, I am not mad, But I am not numb

I was torn up inside, Knife twisting around

Broken to pieces I pick up off the ground

Still holding on, Stable for now, Hoping for forever

LOVE

Peace

Joy

Sleep

Hope

Strength

I pray for better days, Cleansed of pain

Living a life worth living, Days made for the taking

Future to be found, Each breath a blessing

A chance to make a past worth knowing
