When tears dry,

When sorrow overwhelms the surfacing joy,

When emotions choke on confusion,

When the struggling man can’t seem to live anymore,

When life drowns out the being in you,

When your confidence is nothing but a stranger,

When relationships grow sour,

When friends turn enemies,

When you just can’t take it anymore,

When loneliness becomes your only companion,

When you feel the emptiness of a lonely park,

Crickets,

Racing wind,

Dying grass,

Deeply rooted dented trees,

When you can’t express the frustration you feel.

You are losing grip,

Falling apart,

Screaming for help with no voice.

When the roof comes crashing down,

When you’re fighting for your last breath,

That’s when you know you’re your only hope.
