Slough of Despond

I feel like I can’t do life anymore

I feel like I can’t

My feelings telling me to believe I can’t

Don’t want to

My gut and soul

holding on to my light

While my thoughts and feelings seem keen on extinguishing any hope I have for joy in life or anything other than this needless war, inside me

Wouldn’t even describe it as pain

though painful

but rather a complete lack of hope that things are or will ever be… good

depression

hopelessness

unending

unfixable

that no matter what you do

accomplish

experience

It’s always there to remind you

that you’d be better off

dead

and thus all this ‘pain’

will stop
