no hope

At every turn I take there is a dead end.

no matter what I do

All hope is extinguished.

every move I make

something goes wrong

a dream is destroyed

my hope for the future stolen

in a single event.

All hope for me is gone

all paths go in one direction

efforts to leave the path fail

all side streets lead to dead ends.

I have no hope

the abyss of my self hate swallows me whole

forever
