This poem shows the thoughts of a pessimist, someone who has been let down in every aspect of her life, someone who is unable to see the bright side of anything.

I have lost all hope

Dreams have turned to dust

I hold trust only in nightmares

Miracles are pretty red carpets floating atop bogs of doom

If you have any doubt in my belief

Please go on ahead

Walk on one of those carpets

Bound you are

To sink…sink…sink

Never to resurface again

Immersed for eternity

Underneath the quicksand of despair

Hear this from me

I lie here at the bottom, trapped forevermore

Sending up wordless bubbles of warning

To those who walk towards the deceiving carpet

Those who still dream in rainbows of colour

Ever Sincerely,

Depresonia Maria
