Hopeless

Her fire is almost out

Embers glowing weakly

Illuminated only by her hope

That something better

Will come along

But her love and dreams are

Strangled by her fear

Her anxiety and

Panic crush her hopes

Make all joy vanish

Disappear

Crushed under the weight

Of her venomous mind

Stressing over every detail

She is all alone

But at least she is still alive

She has not given up yet
