THIS WEEK'S QUOTE PROMPT:

My biggest excuse to others and myself was that I had writer's block, as if it was some kind of illness. Mary Garden

#28 - Depression is the inability to construct a future. Rollo May

DESPAIR’S DISCONTENT

Despair has a way of taking control
when potential used to reign.
The balance of promise and fortitude
dissolves through inflexible pain.

Emotional darkness entombs any hope.
The need to relinquish is great.
Tomorrow surrenders, its promise undone,
promoting an unhealthy fate.

Misplaced assurance does not offer peace
with a refuge not dismal or bleak.
Despair overpowers by filling the void,
as its cruelty preys on the weak.
