Rejection
Despair
 Most say better to have played and lost then never play at all
 I respectfully disagree
 If you don’t play you can’t lose
 Don’t try and you can’t get hurt
 Disappointment progresses and is followed by questions
 These in turn are the things we use in pity 
 Asking why something occurred after you already know the answer
 Questioning is followed in turn by despair
 Despair is when you feel you can sink no lower
 When the world around you spirals into blurs
 When everything falls into place in the wrong ways 
 When life has no meaning
 When questioning what it would be like to die
 A dark lonely place only reached by those in sadness
 Those sent here can be saved
 By friends and trusted helpers 
 Brought back from the void 
 And helped back into light
 Recovery
