Lament
I am in a fairly dark place tonight. Of course there is not absolute you can put on anything- the more you hope the more hope stretches into your angst. Real hope, to me, seems very similar to despair. Real hope accounts for events and conditions and still says. "...something is going to happen." Despair sees that same reality but does not see anything at the end of the road. I never thought this day would come BUT I heard a Bruce Springsteen song tonight on the Grammy awards. The song doesn't remind of how I feel but I do like the chorus juxtaposition.Devils & Dust (chorus lyrics)
I got God on my side
I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust
