Despair
Photo by B.R. Henry

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
