The Pathway Down

Today is a gloom doom day,
Everything has gone astray,
Every mistake is magnified,
And threatens to tear me up inside.

How do I stop the spiraling down
Of emotions from underground?
The rage, the hate, the hopelessness,
Anger and anguish at the weakness in me.
How do I grasp the strength to set me free?

How do I keep from slipping away?
Tear by tear, and fear by fear.
My tears flow free, threatening
To show the very essence of me.

My Comforter comes and bids me hang on
And faith sustains my darkest hour.
Yet even in His comfort I am overwhelmed,
By the hopelessness of fear unbound.
A hopelessness that takes no prisoners,
That storms the walls to conquer all.
