Dark and lonely poem
When the darkness comes
I must wait it out alone
For the road that I’ve chosen
Is one that no one will follow
It is a darkness filled with silence
Unbroken for what seems like eternity
It is a night that never breaks
Awaiting a dawn that may never come
I have no strength for this road
And the ones that I depend on dare not follow
Any screams I shall make
Will be swallowed up and heard by no one
For the darkness is truly vast
Here all joy is sucked out
And replaced with grief
Companionship is removed
And the world is filled with loneliness
Yet I must be strong
Finding life and light
Beyond myself and this world
I must find the One who can be with me
And I can depend on for all things
His strength shall become my own
And through His power
We shall overcome

I’m not searching for loneliness, but I really love the tone of this poem, reminds me of some of my own, but you do it so well. I cannot count the number of times that I’ve read this.
“And through His power / We shall overcome.”
