This spell of self-inflicted darkness,

Reminds me of a queer wave of stillness,

Indomitable spirits of mine waver,

Whenever I find myself quiver,

When negativity looms all over,

Everything appears to sever,

Tears are my consistent allies,

As I witness my confidence dilly dally,

I cringe with pain and fear,

Even with my people near,

With these unwanted feelings adorn,

It seems to be an endless forlorn.
