Alone I sit in the ancient chamber,
Where spiders spin webs of sorrow,
And the windows are boarded and nailed,
Deterring light from shining in,
As I wallow in impenetrable darkness.
Dust teems on my unshakable limbs,
The hand on the clock drums incessantly,
While with anxious eyes I watch time's escape;
Outside a parade passes in reckless fanfare,
Its effusions of joy infiltrating my deaf ears,
And fading away as quickly as it came.
Cracks between the boards offer rays of hope,
Which dance beneath the gluttonous clock,
Reminding me of the long-gone golden days
And her pale, wide-eyed, and undiluted beauty,
Entreating of me to take a stroll outside;
My slothful heart leaps in boundless mirth,
And I almost spring from the prison chair,
But my stay is permeated by incurable shyness.
Slowly but surely, my mind starts to decompose,
For in this lonely chamber I've met no repose
Dreaming of an end to this interminable isolation,
My eyes suffering drought after tides of tears;
In this old chamber I'll live without consolation,
Until the day when vanished are my fears.

A sense of hopelessness
He laid me in this bed, feeling like music in my head,
He whispered soft, luring words into my ears.
Hypnotizing me with his seductive touch,
I feared him more than anyone, anything.
But I was helpless, to stop him, weakened by his strength.
Regret held me silent to my shame,
As I learned of his child's claim.
I refused to bear such an evil thing,
To have his life growing inside me,
I feared seeing his face in everything I'd do.
In the life living within me.
I made a choice, went to the clinic,
Signed some papers, gave out my name.
Laid on the cold table, as I watched the women come and go.
I wrapped my hands protectively over

Suffering
If one denies suffering, i.e., a greater purpose for suffering, he removes one weightthe lighter weight of the suffering itselfand in turn places the heavier burden of nothingness upon himself. All life tends towards death, nothingness.
And the cousins of these feelings of nothingness are skepticism, bitterness, and despair.
The one who subscribes to nothingness may not be a skeptic, bitter, or in despair, but the problem of suffering forces that one to become as such. This is because if all of life ends with a final breath, then everything between that first and last breath is judged by how happy we are. Sufferingdeep, so

Do Not Fear
You who live in doubt,
feeling far away from God -
do not fear,
for God has come near.
You who are insignificant,
feeling ignored and overlooked -
do not fear,
for God was born a child.
You who are poor,
calling out for justice to reign -
do not fear,
for God Himself became poor.
You who are suffering,
feeling forsaken by all -
do not fear,
for God wants to bear your pain.
You who are lonely,
crying out for love and care -
do not fear,
for God Himself will dwell with you.
Oh you who are wandering
in the valley of the shadow of death -
do not fear,
for God has become Man,
has carried our sorrows
and brings us His grace

Another captivating poem of yours
This line “Cracks between the boards offer rays of hope,
which dance beneath the gluttonous clock,” made me smile, as myself have been suffering from depression over the past year and I really could connect with this. The way I have seen shafts of light peeking into my room from my closed curtains, how they have teased me and provoked me to leave my bed of depression. You are very talented at grasping and expressing emotion – especially if the reader can feel mentally connected to your words! Very inspiring!
