When all seems oh so hopeless

The black, deep darkness of the soul… The insidious beast that lurks inside… Eroding your faith, destroying your goal; Sowing bitter seeds of doubt and suicide. Murk drapes over your heart like a shroud: Burying you under overwhelming despair. Gloomy negativity screams oh so loud! Only of despondent thoughts you are aware. But remember: night perforce must submit To the radiant sparkle of day’s new light! Brightness burns off darkling night as if lit From within by belief that bears such might! Glorious day will eternally follow dark night; Hope will conquer the nightmares of dismay. Love is the shield against any soul’s blight, Courage will blast terrible fears forever away!
