We've all been in this dark place sometime; conflict arises when we try to go too deep...
God please end my agony.
There's something wrong, something strange,
Some inexpressible change,
Shaking the foundations of my life,
Filling every moment with endless strife.

There are things I really need to express,
Things insignificant enough to confess;
O God, why don't you just bless,
And rid me of this mental mess?
I can't take it anymore,
My heart and soul have become sore.

Restless days and sleepless nights,
O God where are the shining lights?
Sadness all over, without reason,
Indifference to weather or any season.
My efforts to find joy are futile,
Please give me a reason to simply smile.

I want to rip open my heart,
And bring out every subdued part.
Every secret buried deep down,
As in a dismal, gloomy town.
Then, to my family and friends I turn,
But looking at their looks of concern,
With my silence I continue to burn.

I'm looking for someone who'll understand,
Who'll stand by me and make me strong.
For the right person, I long,
Who'll be patient while I speak,
Until my eyes become bleak,
Tears of joy replacing tears of sorrow,
And bringing a bright, joyous tomorrow.
