why am I so empty

where is life

trampled down

demolished

 

I get up in my labyrinth

walk around in my swamp

insufficient

not good enough

 

I see my guilt

I’m my own enemy

trapped in my patterns

trapped in my circles

 

naked skinless

same mistakes

same painful feeling

old wounds same ache

 

yearning for peace

but nailed to my cross

don’t understand how

don’t understand why

 

is there

a way out

away from my pain

tell me God

are you with me

or against me

 

show me a way out

I’m alone

it’s dark

tell me God

are you with me

or against me
