Sadness creeps in at the bitter end of yet another day of struggle
With it, it brings its friend Hopelessness
Who forgot to take out the trash from its mess yesterday – I’m still trying to get rid of the lingering smell!

Together they parade around my mind
Always oblivious to the growing darkness around them
Are they aware that they cause me such pain?
Do they know that they are betraying me when they take my only refuge – my mind?

Sadness,
Hopelessness,
Welcome back…
