Analysis of Despair
I am sunken into the Earth
I am loss and broken
I am tangled into many knots
I am being sucked down into despair
My life spinning out of control
and I may never get in control of it again
I want out, not to feel this pain anymore
I am withered beauty, and empty
Beaten on a daily basis, with risks
I am just not strong enough to save myself
I am dying in a Black Hole of Despair
hoping to one day see the light again
its dark, its cold, and I am nothing
I am air I am space
I am gone
Living a life of cold and hard Despairity
~This is about a Friend
