Despair sweeps it's way over me , what is all this pain that I see.
Where is the faith I use to know, when did I just let it go.
My heart is heavy and torn apart , But life was hard from the start.
Why have I guit and let the devil win, He fills my life with nothing but sin.
He doesn't care for my life , and fills it with nothing but strife.
The light from the morning sun is to bright , the nights are all full of only fright.
The screaming voices in my head , tell me I know I'm better off dead.
Then I fall on my knees and cry out to You , God I dont know what to do.
Then a voice in my heard speaks clear not hoarse , stand up strong and stay the coarse .
I'm here beside you and you know that I care , trust me my child with all of your despair.
Five years have passed sence I felt that way , And there is something I'd like to say.
If your life is sad and full of despair , then just call on your heavenly Father in prayer.
He knows you worries and pain and strife , he has been waiting to help you all of your life.
but first you must call on him and believe , and from your troubles you'll find relief.
Just trust him and love him with all of your hearts care, and find comfort in him in your times of despair.

Stay By My Side
I try to remember the good times
when I felt your soft kiss on my lips
and heard your whispers of love in my
I don't know where I'm going
I do not know the way,
I've lost all sense of purpose...
It's not alright,
I'm not ok,
I feel so
It's a simple concept really
Breathe in and then exhale
Then why am I here gasping
Air all around.......I pale
The crushing
