Despair
A thick fog envelopes me, hazy and unclear
Lost in a maze, where true despair is near
My tears flow like a river, forming a steady stream,
and heartache whispers like a winter's breeze, silent and unseen
In a world of gray, I have lost my way
And in the starry night, only a little light still stays
My emotions will soon succumb,
every tear making me numb.
But even in the darkness there is a light,
and in hope's embrace, gloom will take flight
For a flicker of hope lights the way,
and will continue to guide me through each new day.
