Sliver of Hope
The lonely nightmare
Of a soul that strives to be free.
Trapped in a disease
The no one can see.
Explain in vain,
But the words fall on deaf ears.
The insults and angst
Fall on deaf ears.
Glimmers of joy
Are now few and far away.
Color is lost
In thickness of grey.
With my last bit of strength,
I grasp a sliver of hope
Whilst it pricks my finger.
