Despair
Despair engulfs me like a grey cloud
Swirling around me, holding me in its grasp
Enshrouding me in a tomb of sadness
Despair overtakes my mind
I reach to the Heavens for salvation
I cry out my agony
Despair saps the joy from my soul
Leaving me empty, alone, unwanted
Wondering why i even try
Despairs iron grip sucks the breath from me
Its cold hands encircle my neck
Squeezing, blackness sets in
Despair is my ending
The overwhelming chaos overtakes me
My life ebbs away,
Gone
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
