Despair Renewed

I was captured, cornered like an animal
I was in despair
Everything was nothing, I did not care
Life was dull, I had no love
Just a calling from above
Into a dark world I had fallen
I could hear their constant calling
Everyone was my enemy
Even my own self
I had nothing
No clothes
No belongings
No wealth
But then one day I did awake
One true love it did take
I was woken by a loving face
Whose arms held out I did embrace
From that day forward, there was no other world
My world now is bright and unspoiled

Ah, the tonic of true love.     Well done, I enjoyed this poem very much.

 May I never be too busy to help another's load,
Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed.
