hoplessness


ache
difference
suffer

Darkness. She sits alone silently distressed as her racing thoughts scream
Numbly. Her heartsick heart suffers an overwhelmingly weary bleak ache
Briefly. She contemplates helpful solutions to heal anguish and despair
Foolishly. She clutches the vial and resigns- What difference could anything possibly make?

THREE WORD WEDNESDAY

Lucy, you've captured the hopelessness and depression in your piece well. Now, if only someone stopping by feeling that way would see the hope and happiness that could lie ahead for them. Well done. Have a nice day.
