Despair
by
Jonathan Isenor

Trapped in a bad situation
With no escape in sight
You dwell
In your pit of despair
Wishing that one-day things could be better
And they can
Why spend your time dwelling?
When there’s a whole world out there
It’s just grabbing that first brick
Then you slowly pull yourself up
Gradually climbing out of the pit that had held you
As you climb you let go of what had put you down there
The one memory
That you cannot forget
But are finally ready to let go of
When you reach the top
You’ll find a world
Waiting for you
Now it’s your time to shine.
