My darkness

It's been years,
more stories have been told,
more messages has been sent,
lives has been lost,
souls has been won,
more children have been born.
There have been many wrong actions
even more right decisions have been taken.
But years upon years upon years,
I have lost myself to darkness,
I have worn the garment of despair
I have made a wall of iniquity
I have listened to the words of the ungodly
I have accepted the council of the unrighteous
and lost my home and crown.
The darkness and ashes has been my hideout
The light in me gave way for darkness to reside,
I crawled into the den
and played with the lions
I cried day and night in sadness and despair.
Heavy hearted and wary,
I thought all hope was lost.
But just when I was about to end it,
I noticed a flash of light and headed that direction.
Running and jumping on my way down.
Praying and hoping that the light makes more sense
than my lonely darkness.
