Despair Is A Pit

Despair is a pit,

Some try to climb out of it

And others like to sit in.

A cave where no one cares;

To watch the shadows,

Flickering on the walls,

They hibernate awake,

And daydream of sleep.

They wish and want,

But are unable

And as they feast on doubt

And abstain from hope;

They shake and shatter,

Causing the rest to leave and scatter.

It is a pit with ladders and ropes

Devoid of meaning, dreams, or hope.

Despair is a pit that some call home.
