The Key

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

There is a disease within

that makes me sick,

a darkness that dims 

the light in my heart.

 

I've given in to the lies,

to the voice of self-doubt.

 

Fear keeps me prisoner;

worry has me hostage.

 

A life spent trapped

in the same cycle,

I wonder if I will 

ever be set free.

 

But I had the key 

to this cell all along;

I had the way of escape

buried deep inside.

 

When I place my hope

in my creator alone,

I realize he was with me

this entire time.

 

He dwelled in my heart

and held me when

I cowered in the shadows;

he never left my side.
