Despair Is My Name

Despair

is my

name

Despair is my name, I’m in many minds,

I’ve been everywhere

there’s thinking people

(I could have said much worse,

‘thinking’ may be generous)

Hopelessness, Distress,

Anguish and Gloom,

all attach to me, being close friends.

Melancholy is my ‘Bestie’,

we both tease and laugh at Happiness and Cheer,

then have a few beers to feel worse.

You won’t find me on posters,

more likely to find me in dumps,

or down and out in Paris with Orwell.

“Don’t Despair” is the way they warn of and off me,

but it’s hard not to be me in this world

of suffering, which the Buddhists will tell you,

although no need to be me, you, or her,

it’s an illusion
