Frustration

Anger

Dread

Futility

Another stressful day

Full of nothing

But stress

My brain cannot take it no more

It's all going

Down a void

In my head

I wish

I could just relax

All day long

But

I do not have that luxury

Life put paid to such luxuries

But it isn't just that

Anti-social feelings

Hatred and rage

Well up in me

Unavoidably

There are just days

When I ask myself

"Why am I still here

When this world

Has nothing for me?"

Strange as it may sound

This is not the first time

It has happened

But I believe it's normal

When we feel

Downcast

Grieved

Unhappy

Over what happens to us

That we wonder

If there still is purpose

For us

It's inevitable

That we get caught up

In the ruckus

Of all that happens around us

Whether or not

It affects us

Directly

Or indirectly

Discouragement

Disappointment

Resentment

Humiliation

Depression

Discontentment

Disapproval

Mistrust

Negativity spreads

Like a plague

It infects us

Deep in our hearts

And gnaws away

At our conscience

Until we are consumed

By its pestilence

At which

There is no way to redeem oneself

There is no definite vaccine

To this affliction

We can only do

All that in our power

To ensure it does not propagate

It takes will

Courage

Belief

And of course

Faith

To overcome it

A rational mind

Is a healthy mind

For a moment of laxity

Can mislead one

To a lifetime of sin

We are merely human

Such proclivities

To turn to our dark sides

Are hard to resist

Yet again

The machinations of the Devil

In all its subtlety

Take heart

Stand firm

And if ever it may happen again

Do not despair

It is not the end

The end

Is when you believe

You never ever began

In the first place

So I pen it all down

Silently praying for a cure

Silently praying this, too, shall pass

Never a predicament

Silently
