Poignant despondence
suffocating optimism
surge of pain
bleeding out of heart
creating a miasma
of incessant affliction
followed by the shadows of past
as the vicious strokes of destiny
continue to write my excruciating fate
consumed by the darkness
but time’s therapeutic cures
effluences hope and alacrity
a promise of new dawn
