Just like a down pour,
my tears just fall.
Confusion overwhelms my soul.
Am I strong enough to go on?
Each morning I wake up,
wanting so much to know,
but I am left in the dark.
Alone and confused,
I cry.
Not just a single tear,
but rather a waterfall.
Swimming in my own emotions,
I begin to sink.
Soon grasping for air,
I don't struggle to be free.
I just fall,
hit bottom.
Overtaken by life,
not wanting to get up,
I lay on the water's floor.
I take my last glance at the world,
say my final prayer,
take my last and final breath..

This one has despair written into every line. Good poem, hope you don't feel this way too often! We all have 'down' time though so I can relate.

Lots of emotion! I too hope you are feeling better. It is good that you can get the feelings out in your writing. That helps!
Hope things look up real soon!
