Giving Up
Nobody ever tells you what giving up hope is like.
It is like you are falling down a bottomless pit,
Delving deeper and deeper into the darkness.
Friends and family are screaming for help all around,
Yet no one is beside you.
And if you try to get your hope back,
It is like crawling up the smooth, steel walls of the pit,
Dragging yourself up on nothing,
Often there is a hand to help,
But it falls away before you reach it.
And as you lookup to see how far you have to go,
You see nothing but darkness and despair,
So you let go, knowing it is easier.
