Despair
by Shar'Eth Sunhawke

    Crying out in the darkness
    Waiting for the light
    Waiting for relief to come
    In the cold, indifferent night
    Screaming inside my mind
    Shredding my own soul
    Taking it all as sacrament
    As I quietly lose all control
    Wanting to be more than I am
    Wanting to give up this fight
    Struggling to try to make some sense
    Not knowing wrong from right
    Days passing in apathy
    Nights passing in fear
    In the jumble of my battered brain
    Hope seems to disappear
    Crying out in the darkness
    Waiting for the light
    Waiting for relief to come
    In the cold, indifferent night
