Despair Is Heavy

DESPAIR IS HEAVY Despair is heavy And I am heavier than I have been in a long time- The cold and the dark and the damp Also weigh me down. I still can move But more slowly now And with much more aching. When will the minor pain become paralysis? And when will the weight kill me? Perhaps I am done forever And will never move again And the weight will take me all the way down So low I will not even be aware anymore of my despair. It is a heavy day now And I am too heavy a person And Heaviness is in the air And rules the Universe And everything is sinking down And falling into its own meaninglessness. Life is heavy I am heavy Everything is heavy now and getting heavier.
