New Dawn of Hope (an original work)

This is just me working on expressing some feeling that have been swirling in my mind. I find that I can easily talk/think myself into a depression or at least a slump and I am trying to remind myself that the way out is through teaching yourself (over and over again) the truths of scripture. Life is more then just going and doing and jumping into the next activity.

Outside I wear a smile
Inside I bleed to death.
The world around me waring
Looks to me to see,
A hope, a joy, a reason
A reason just to be.
A hope for life eternal.
A joy for every day.
What reason can I give them?
When I feel this way.
My tender heart is aching
Drowned by cold, chill pain.
Loneliness surounds me
Like a pouring rain.
Why do I fear silence?
Why is loneliness my bane?
I join my hands with Pity,
And sink into despond.
When I should be a beacon
To the light beyond.
"Misery loves company"
Or so the poets say.
But once you've been companioned 
How do you get away?
You teach yourself a message
and throw away the lies.
And little points of truth 
Will dawn across the skies.
And as those lights start breaking
They pierce your very soul.
They break your bond with Pity
And dash Miseries control.
They fill your heart with hope,
And with that hope pure joy.
And this dear world is reason
This truth is the whole reason.
The best and only reason.
Your reason just to be!
