The Lord Is My Shepherd…

O Lord, deliver me from evil

Give me the strength to fight

Against the darkness that is looking to level

Everything in its path be it day or night

Shoots of pain course through these veins

Fighting against them seems to be in vain

What is this darkness that engulfs

Heart feels heavy and the mind dissolves

In a state of haunting sadness and helplessness

Tired of chasing the moon and the stars

What is the purpose of this all

All I want is to be with my love

Who is the shining star in this darkest night

Tired of maintaining this facade

Changing the masks trying to fool the world at large

Or is it me I try to fool

Life & situation keep us apart

Pining and yearning add to the melancholy cart

Struggling against the uncontrollable forces

Seems pointless and futile at times in strong doses

I can’t give up.. not now not ever

But how do I explain the craving and the need

To be with her whom I dream

Just want to be comforted and loved

Against the bad bloody world without getting snubbed…
