 "Hopelessness" is the shadow that follows - 

That stays near by - 

but cowers from the never ending light - 

but never fades -- ever - 

The stubbornest -- in all existence -- is felt - 

and never grows tired - 

That could consume the light

That kept the dark away.

I've felt it in the brightest day - 

And on the clearest night - 

Yet, always in despair,

It asked for everything -- from me.
