Sometimes, at times
Seems black as night
Bleakness ahead
And nothing seems right
Forlorn, forsaken
Bereft, despair
Sorrow, sadness
Too much to bear
Deep, drawn
Despondent, down
Misery, gloomy
Perpetual frown
Confused as to why
Emotions arrive
Logically happy
To just be alive
An inkling, a clue
To their source unknown
Glimmering glimpses
Occasionally shown
Figure it out
A mysterious glow
A secret so hidden
Can hope can dream
But keep all inside
Tormented emotions
All hidden inside
But Hashem
Understands
Just where
I stand
He can help
He can care
With Him
I can share
For Him
I entrust
As unburden
I must
Tatty knows
Tatty cares
I cry
Tatty hears
He hugs
He protects
Caresses
Holds me erect
Comforts my soul
Endows me with strength
Will help me through this dark
Whatever its length
