Derelict of Hope

My brain was in collusion With psychosis and illusion, No fragment of resolution In my sinkhole of confusion, Any leverage or bevel Leads me towards the devil, Now derelict of hope, I seek sanctuary to cope. Entry for Eight Word Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann 4/6/2019
