I run so fast to get nowhere
This hell’s inside my head.
In this place all melted down
I am the living dead.

The wickedness spins all around
Makes me feel real sick
I’m reaching for my Saviour,
I hope He will come quick.

The pain within tears me apart
Shreds my very soul.
Keeping me from standing up,
I never can be whole.

The laughter that’s so evil
Bounces off my brain.
It even changes how I think
It’s driving me insane.

My blessed Father hears my cry
Calms my every fear.
Reaching down He makes things safe
And He holds me near.

Ever since I met our Lord
He’s been a major part.
He lives within my every move
The keeper of my heart.

“I’ll never leave thee nor forsake thee (Heb 13-5)
Remember what I said.
I’ll save you from that evil place
Where Angels fear to tread.”

There are certainly a lot of places that evil will tread.

This is a nice poem. Right to the point.

Thank you. Godbless

Great poem. I especially like the first line. I believe the dark recesses of the mind is the hardest place to escape.

Darkness is pushed out when the "Light" comes in. There is no place for darkness with our Savior's light. Nice job here, good message and powerful depiction. God Bless~

This is a powerful poem. I have felt exactly like this. It almost felt like you peeked into my head before writing this.

The only suggestion I might have is to work on the flow-try to have the same number of syllables and a pattern of stressed and unstressed words. This is something I really struggle with when I write poems and it's been mentioned to me before.

Personally I really enjoyed it and it spoke volumes to me. It has a great message and I could literally feel your anguish.

Congratulations. God bless~
