In vain, my prayer for silent slumber,
my sleep it doth evade,
unhappy thoughts, they do outnumber,
my happiness betrayed.
Dark, the hour steals, so late,
the Light it hath descended,
The fog of dreams, I doth await,
for my life to be transcended.
Heal me of my pain, O Lord!
That twists inside my soul!
Against the hurt, I beg you ward,
My heart, I plead, console!
Break these chains of mortal sins,
that strangle with their sorrow,
life anew now soon begins,
begins upon the morrow.
I wrote it... but last November when I was probably agnostic still and not yet an atheist.

Raw, edgy, insightful and honest. Truly a state of seeking God and deliverence from sin and sorrow.
If you seek God with your whole heart He will reward you and you will find Him. Don't give up so soon. Deliverence is at hand but only available through the one who loved you enough to die for your sins - Jesus. Meet God on His terms (through the atonement of Christ) and your soul will be comforted and at peace with your creator.
You are talented and passionate - don't let this be stifled because things that are worthwhile sometimes take time.

Man, were you in a funk! I hope you're sleeping better now. At least having a few more pleasant dreams and feeling a bit lest twisted by pain.

nicely, lolz Husbands shud savor wht their different halves do for them as there's a distinction between a mom and a spouse. yet no count what, spouse shudn't slap her husband. thats incorrect. So, the poem is in simple terms delivering the incorrect message to females fantastically to youthful females~!
