Fight

That feeling again
The quagmire of deep dissatisfaction
The dark chasm
Opening its vast depths
A strange comfort
Like the embrace of a scarlet woman
Forbidden yet compelling
Destructive yet comforting
The overwhelming inadequacy
Blotting out the belief in any possibility
The sticky sweetness of failure
Wrapping itself lovingly
Till another breath of a great sigh
Putting in a fresh burst of air
Into flailing lungs
A new lease of life
Of hope
To live another day
