Tears running down my face
When does the pain end?
How do we get to stable ground?
Six months of nonstop
Six months of ups and downs
Never did I think that death would come
Now we’re left here
Dealing with the mess he made
Financial ruin, our lives in ruin?
He is gone and you might be too
How do I handle losing both my pillars?
Do I go on faith and drown?
Do I let you go and sink even faster?
Each path is dark
And each path has different poisons
This is my pit of despair

Something hollow
When you know there’s no hope for the country
No chance for a better tomorrow
What will we do?
I’m not quite sure
What will happen next?
Only God knows for sure
How to fight off despair?
The walls closed in, chaos, claustrophobia
Mean eyes everywhere I look
There must be some melted hearts out there
Amid the hatred and relentless despair
Hate in hearts can be broken with love
Like nestling into a sweetheart’s arms
Under cool moonlit nights
Away from infinite news cycles and images
Of society tearing, tearing apart
But how to fight off despair?
