Endless Misery

Endless Misery

Life wasn’t always a misery. I never once had to wake up and hate today.
Tomorrow is the same and the future seems bleak to me. Is there a way?

Visions of the past and what I could’ve done, what I could’ve been.
Living in the present, the present I’ve made for myself. What a sin!

This misery won’t go away if I close my eyes. It’s endless inside of me.
This misery won’t go away if I destroy myself. It’s endless inside of me.

Living with myself is a challenge for all men. I can’t do it alone. It’s too difficult.
Why couldn’t I have foreseen this omen? I was so wrong. It’s all my fault.

Regret eats my heart like an animal that’s been starved for a lifetime.
How much more of it can it eat before I crumble and die?

This misery won’t go away if I close my eyes. It’s endless inside of me.
This misery won’t go away if I destroy myself. It’s endless inside of me.

As the future reveals itself I will continue to hate who I was, but I will be comforted by the fact that I am no longer that man of dirt.

But my comfort can only last for so long because I will forever be haunted by my mistakes and the people I’ve hurt.

God has transformed me but things haven’t changed. Will they ever?

This misery won’t go away if I close my eyes. It’s endless inside of me.
This misery won’t go away if I destroy myself. It’s endless inside of me.

You can't transform yourself. Only God can transform you through faith in Christ.
