Despair Broken
Staring at walls, out of mind
Dark despair calls, like no other kind
Shadows swirling, thoughts racing
Emotions twirling, no point in chasing
A hopeless happiness, left to whither
As their nastiness, sends a great shiver
Understanding dawns, stricken like a match
Like hot tongs, hope must attach
Dark at its worst, can only grow brighter
Despair reversed, in the black of night
Sunrise on the horizon, bringing back life
More the wizen, happiness rife
Light washes through, despair undone
Broken into, by a thousand suns
