So, how does it feel?

As the shadow creeps across my heart sucking out all the light like an unsatiable black hole in my mind.

My feet are heavy, my breath ragged, my smile a fading memory.

There is no light at the end of this tunnel, no rainbow at the edge of this horizon.

No love, no joy, no happiness, just despair.

Pain and misery are my constant companions.

A dull, blunt blade twisting in my heart and piercing my soul.

Hope is a cruel joke.

The future holds no promise.

An endless stream of pop cliches run through my mind.

So, how does it feel? I couldn't say!

What is this Babboo? Is it you or Kahlil Gibran? I am glad I read the New Year 'HOPE' blog before I read this one... come on sou... Hoping is so good... it is so...so...full of hope you know!!! Still, it is one of the most beautifully written piece of poetry. So proud of you.
