Despair
despair is simple
plagued with suffering
we fall into this so easily
it's known to us
a presence everlasting
from the moment a child first cries
a constant struggle
that is this life unfolds
ushering towards an ending unchangeable
powerless
and out of control
we always find its in the back of our mind
lurking in the shadows
waiting to possess
its grip is tight, its bond is endless
a surrounding hole
filled with tragedy
we fall into this too easily
don't try to bring me down
the lowest low i'm in right now
the darkness i dwell, my eternal cell
trapped inside a state i hate
this emotion suffocates
spirit is broken, all words spoken
a pain burns deep inside
eclipsing the brighter side
today is sorrow, same tomorrow
overwhelmed by the burden of life
nothing is ever right
soul beyond repair bringing
despair
