Hopelessness is swallowing me.

For all my life I've been it's prey.

Sometimes strong, sometimes weak,

I've always managed to hold on,

but my grip is loosening.

My dreams have been squelched

and my imagination is fading.

I'm tired of pushing boulders uphill

only to watch them roll back down.

My shiny glaze of compassion has dulled.

Flaccid are my heartstrings,

flying ramdomly like torn ribbons

on a misguided kite.

Where can I escape and become

someone else somewhere else?
