Edge of Despair

I'm standing at the edge of despair

suffocating from the frigid air

the lurking shadows all around

squeezing my heart dry

the tension seeping through my pores

weakness shaking me in my core

Feeling alone

loaded with gloom

burdened with unknowns

fear and worry

choking from this constant sorrow

will it ever end?

the world feels like it's crashing down on me

please make it stop.

I need a hand or more than one...

to pull me out before I drown

I need a hug or two or three...

to ease the troubles that worry me

I can use a prayer, a thought, and some love...

to give me strength through it all

I'm tired now...

So I'm just going to sit here on the edge of despair
