Despair-Cheer

Despair
Reflections in the mirror
a ravaged look of despair
abandoned dreams of goodness
nothing waits for you


Cheer
Some looks that appear broken
soon can be mended in time
dream on for it will happen
Despair will be cheer

Mahalo, Connie: I guess you can call it a step above haiku. I use it a lot.
