Despair

sadness depression

Some days it feels as though I'm just crawling out of the darkness

My eyes see the tiniest spark of light

Then just as suddenly as it appeared

back to the darkness I go!

Pulled by something that I imagine is greater than I.

A force with undeniable power

Desiring to engulf my every thought

Gripping my soul with hungry hands

Encased in hopelessness and despair

Adrift in the twilight of my mind.
