A lost soul's prayer

If the Lord is my Shepherd, then why do I want?
The pastures are always greener on the other side.
I am yet to see these waters stilled.
There is no hope here to be found.

I see before me a path of unrighteous folly
For no man's sake save his own.
I am destined to walk behind this shadow
Of evil and death alone.

I fear as my enemies devour my flesh
My cup, empty, save these tears from my eyes.
Surely goodness and love will deceive me
All the days of our lives.

And I shall dwell in this world
And suffer in pain, from
Now until the hour of my death.

Amen.
