Despair

My mind is not at ease
My heart is not clear
My body is broken
Sadness has no part of me
I descend deeper into the
mire of darkness.
No light to be seen
Thick is the smoke
of my despair.
I see no end
My life
My light
Dangles on a string like a cat toy
Swat
Swat
I fly through the dump
That has been my daily
Reaching
Yearning
For the light of life
To release me
