Analysis of The darkness

Jamella Gross 1987 (Brooklyn NY)

Free verse
Can't see the light because there isn't one
Can't see the sun
Hopefully I'll get thru this darkness
Hopefully I'll get thru this pain
Depression is a stress with no infinite gain
There's no love here
Just hopelessness and sorrow
Cry today, and hope for a better tomorrow
