Despair

Despair, do you know how that comes?
I’ll tell you, for I know it all too well.
When You are isolated in your home,
And you just cannot do anything that you’ve always dreamt of,
That you’ll do when you’ll be on a break.
That’s the ringing bell for Despair.

Despair comes in layers.
First, it creeps up unnoticed.
You don’t notice it at all.
And then, you slowly start noticing its presence.
You get worried and you immediately act upon it.
You want to remove all its sources,
But fail to do it.

You start becoming exhausted.
Then you see despair creeping up yet again.
But now you’re just too tired and don’t do anything,
Anything that might stop it from surrounding you.
Slowly by slowly, the despair surrounds you.
Hours, days, weeks.

Slowly by slowly,
Despair takes the shape of You.
You become The Despair.
