  Hopelessness Sometimes a feeling of hopelessness And feelings of helplessness Can totally overwhelm a person Until any action-even one that causes pain Seems necessary for your very survival. Sometimes the pain inside Gets so big and so huge That you have to defuse somehow, anyway, Because you cannot take even one feather touch more of pain.
Sometimes the pain is not There is only emptiness a void inside And you start to wonder Am I really alive? Do I exist? And to prove you are you cut to feel. Sometimes you feel alone and empty And you wonder why you continue To breathe in and out, out and in And you wonder why You are alive with nothing but emptiness inside. Sometimes life seems impossible And you just want everything in you life And all the darkness and emptiness to just seize.
You just want it all to be over And you just want to sleep forever But somewhere inside – is a spark Of life of longing of a child long ago That wants to laugh and love and live So once more you raise you head And crawl out of bed with hope. Hope – that the pain will stop Hope - that the darkness will turn to light Hope – that today you might find a reason to live Hope – that today something will keep you alive Hope – that today somebody might care and reach out a hand. 3/31
