Pit of Despair
Sometimes, life can seem unfair
when your heart loses all hope.
And from a pit of despair,
you struggle merely to cope.
Love is an elusive dream,
interlaced with nightmare thoughts.
And anxiety's extreme;
tying your stomach in knots.
You try to rewind life's tape;
and yet, it is stuck on pause.
And there's no way to escape
the suffering or its cause.
Abuse morphs into self-hate;
guiding the blade on its path.
And admonishing your fate,
you let its edge purge your wrath.
Every cut exacts a toll;
unleashing a scarlet flood.
And yet, the pain in your soul
is numbed by the flowing blood.
