Writing Prompt - Despair

Despair
Is despair a dark place?
A place we all at some time share
Tell me please, what you find there
In the corners – emptiness, loss, fear?
Does anger clear the room
Tearful, lonely, stripped bare.



I wrote this poem as part of self care/therapy in dealing with a health issue.
I think the wordplay, the use of writing and journaling is an amazingly profound therapeutic and creative outlet.
