Misery - Darkness Divided

I’ve seen things

I thought I could only dream

I’ve read the book

But I’m surrounded by misery

Imperfect, yet inspired

Life in the cracks

Contradicting humanity

I can’t comprehend

This twisted reality

There has to be

Substance in inconsistency

Weaving time and reality

Is faith the only thing holding up my belief?

In the darkness my eyes show me

There is so much more that I can’t see

How defined can I be?

My fate is dependence fueled by needs

Who will you help?

When the whole world bleeds

How will you help?

When your whole world bleeds

Oh misery, why have you left me questioning

My existence

Father will you come and show us

How to live again?

My lack of vitality

Affirms my humanity

I boast not of my sufficiency

But to demand of your authority

Is this the point for everything that I’m feeling

Is compassion supposed to drive my yearning?

The love you put on my heart

Wasn’t just mine from the start

We were cut from the vine

Pruned to be your congregation

Every inch of my being questions

How to repay

The agony the laceration

That cured my misery

My misery
