Despair

Despair

written by: Elizabeth Sams

 

Did he take that shot/ to escape a reality/ that he could not face/
in a world he could not endure/ from a place he could not understand/
did he hide a version of himself/ a side that he could not share/ with anyone/
one moment of desperation/ and a dead soul/ a struggle/ a ball and chain/ a family/
did he wish for a life so very different/ not what he lived/ something better/
a mecca/ the end of the rainbow/ where a pot of gold/ boiled over/
waiting as tenuously as his heart for redemption/ for reckoning/
for a white light/ for the parts of him buried/ or/ for a happy ending.
