Hopelessness

An ugly oppressive feeling is creeping towards my door,
I know who the monster is for we’ve done battle once before.

He comes like a thief in the night to steal the most valuable of all,
Your feelings of happiness and hope then laughs at your helpless fall.

He covers us from head to toe like a fog through which we can't see,
He suffocates our spark of hope our master he wants to be.

He takes away our confidence he says don’t bother to even try,
For we’re doomed to utter failure and we’re to cowed to even ask him why?

But, I’ve fought this beast before and threw off his cloak of night,
So, again my spark of hope could grow into a mighty light.
