Analysis of Misery loves company
Sarah Lateesha Hamilton 1980 (USA)
Anxiety is the act of the devil trying to steal your soul
A spirit of doubt and confusion, making you question
your faith and your goals
How do you overcome these feelings when you're so deep in it
Your heart is broken, you feel lost and it's hard to be independent
Misery loves company
And the devil is ALWAYS busy
You cry and you pray, you try and you stray, you ask for
guidance
You try to stay calm but nothing is what it seems and everything seems off balance
How do I get out of this slump that I've been in for all the while?
I thought I would overcome it but it's become a way of life, suddenly its my lifestyle
