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

About this poem

We all experience doubt and sadness at some point but please believe it will not last forever
