Hopelessness feels like your gently, gradually, sinking into quicksand It is physically consuming and mentally exhausting It performs a double trick, creeping, sticking to every inch of your tired skin, while taunting your stability; defying the remaining hope. It mocks your gasps, blinding your eyes with the salty evidence of your weakness. Your walk is quick, rapid, indifferent to everyone else's- but the weight you pull is massive, painful and constraining. Your face, cold, your eyes a sinking dusky void- Unwelcoming, suffocating, searching for a savior.

Quicksand
Hopelessness feels like your gently, gradually, sinking into quicksand It is physically consuming and mentally exhausting It performs a double trick, creeping, sticking to every inch of your tired skin, while taunting your stability; defying the remaining hope. It mocks your gasps, blinding your eyes with the salty evidence of your weakness. Your walk is quick, rapid, indifferent to everyone else's- but the weight you pull is massive, painful and constraining. Your face, cold, your eyes a sinking dusky void- Unwelcoming, suffocating, searching for a savior.
