Shadows of My Soul by TAB_that's me


Life lives.
Breeze lifts.  Leaves shake
            like the zils on a tambourine.
Bees hum.
Birds chirp.
You get it.  Life lives
around me.
 
Not I.
I fall into the shadows of my soul
            dying in the darkness.
Helpless.
Alone.
Weary.  I weep no more.
Too much.
Noise.
Sin.
Pain.  Poisonous pain.
Life lives. NO.  Life dies.  What’s the point
            of living for the sorrow?
Grief.
Raw brokenness.
 
Help me
or kill me. Just kill me.
Help me, Sweet Jesus.  Help.  Me.
                    ~~
From fingertips, like blood, I drip
            my sin and cares away.
With hands lifted to the sky,
new life rains into me.
 
Life.  Live.
Life lives on.
Jesus.

Author Notes
Don't worry - it's not like this for me. Not now at least. I've been there though and depression always lurks in the shadows waiting to pull me back down again. I fight through Jesus.
