but it is the feeling of dispair
that keeps me alive
it is a feeling i cant compare something i cant describe
my heart is sinking in a bottomless pit
i cant stop the thinking
the light that iluminated my path is now blinking.

once a being is in dispair for so long, this being gets some how used to it. almost attached to dispair. As if dispair were that beings comfort zone.
