Headache

My head it pounds, it throbs.

Dull or sharp the pain it hurts.

Self-pity brings the negative.

Minor problems become large.

Positive takes second place.

It is so easy to think of self.

Depression comes within the ache.

Hopelessness is magnified.

Loneliness within the pain,

with sluggish thoughts of suicide.

There is no power within one's self,

to fight the hopelessness inside.

Within your heart the power resides,

If within the Christ abides.

To conquer darkness with his light,

one must turn from dark to light.

Depression fades from dark to light.

to fight the darkness deep inside,

keep your thoughts on Christ who died.

His life resurrects the light inside.
