A Song

Sitting on this quiet night,
Grim images rape my mind,
Frustration burns my heart,
Depression covers me blind.
A feeling of rejection;
Helpless tears fall.
The light seems to fade,
I can hear the devil’s call.
Hopelessness destroys my faith,
Fear shows its fangs.
Death, my only comfort;
My emotions shake with pain.
Lucifer tugs at my soul,
Knife clutched in my hand.
Steel meets flesh,
I almost envision hell’s land.

Suddenly my misery is shattered!
Light illuminates in my eyes.
Words fill my hope,
From a song so wise.
My hand begins to tremble,
The knife falls to the floor.
The song tells the truth,
The victorious angels soar.
Joy tingles my body,
Renewed strength flows in my veins.
Evil vanishes from my soul,
Satan screams in pain.
My tears of anger
Turn to tears of relief.
A new warrior will prevail,
As the song conquers all my grief.
