When there is no hope.
It’s a deep dark hole.
I can’t take flight.
And there is no light.
I am choking, gasping.
The blackness, drowning.
Down, and down.
My brow in a frown.
No light, no dream.
No hope or beam.
Darkness rains all around
Heart continues to pound.
Oh, there! A ray of light,
A ray of hope, so bright.
Towards it, I crawl,
But one step ahead, I fall.
A wound at the same place,
A second failure, a lost case.
Is more painful.
No future seems hopeful.
This is darker than before.
Black and deep to the core.
My soul is now numb.
Waiting for more to come.
I am alone without hope.
Waiting for a rope,
But I afraid to slip.
Afraid to lose my grip.
I have no choice, no option.
I take a step, with caution.
I am scared of the fall, not of the height.
Slowly, I come into the light.
