A Hint of that Disheartening Lethargy

I felt different
I was starting to get consumed by what I felt like a sinkhole
and no matter how hard I reach for the rope
I couldn't reach it
those things that I once enjoyed were going away
The joy that once resided within me had faded into nothing
Happiness and its meaning faded away from my knowledge
But I still feel just a sliver of hope in me
I held unto that sliver with my life
I grabbed it with all of my strength
For it's the one thing that keeps me away from losing my true sanity
A walk some more
The Darkness was everywhere
Except for that one inch of light
That seemed a million miles away
I was slowly getting consumed by hopelessness
I ran toward the light
but no matter what I do
I couldn't reach it
I might've tripped a few times
But I want to see the light again
I would give up my own soul
Just to see the bright light just one more time
But then..
The light faded away
and darkness
consumed me
I was afraid
