Despair

Despair.
I am like a
windowless, empty room.
Bleak and dark i steal hope and give
anguish.

Distress
i am to you.
Lonely desolation.
Like a cloak you wear me with great
sadness.

Emma, you always touch my heart with your words. The sadness of your "despair" is overwhelming. I hope that is not the reason you haven't been posting new poetry. There are some very kind people who will help you shed the cloak of distress if you reach out. I see you won a contest with this poem, so congratulations are in order. Peace and blessings, Carolyn
