Moments of Sadness and Pain

Moments of sadness and pain
Never knowing how it began, but always the same
Looming everywhere without end
My mind always racing with dismal thoughts
Even at what should be a happy moment I must contend
with the Lingering angst that remains in the air
forever and always too much to bear 
this overwhelming feeling emerges, consuming
my heart and soul, as if I’m not meant to believe 
there's anything but this sense of sorrow 
and sadness yesterday, today or tomorrow
Hardly able to contain the tears that flow down my face
Eyes all a mist, even as I try and write this
Sadness and anger darkens my door    
Hopelessness is forever haunting my core
I try but I can never leave it behind
No hope in life, no love in hope, I do not know how
I manage to cope.
