Despair is powerful
medicine.
Too strong for some.
Despair is the truth--
nowhere to run,
nowhere to hide.
Despair is an antidote
for this world's deceit.
The cure
may be worse than
the disease.
If some part of you
wants more than despair
in this world
and won't settle for deceit,
now is the time;
bring it out.
