Yes, I am in the process of writing the next chapter of my other story, but it's taking longer than I thought it would. Sorry. Okay, so this one is basically about all of the fandom characters that have had moments like this where they feel like giving up, so it doesn't really belong to any specific book or book series. It's a freeverse. Enjoy!

They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

...no, I'm pretty sure it makes you weaker.

Just think for a second.

Really think.

You narrowly escaped falling into the dark infinite abyss

but it still threatens to drag you down

and you'll be forever falling

and forever alone.

The black overwhelms you,

seemingly swallowing you up whole

and all the while you are

[paralyzed,

frozen,

stiff]

with the feelings of

e-m-p-t-i-n-e-s-s

and

h-e-l-p-l-e-s-s-n-e-s-s

that so often

accompany

loneliness

and

fear.

{you will never escape from this}

{it will never release you from its smothering grasp}

{it is hopeless to even try}

and then

someone pulls you from the

darkness

that once

[enveloped,

trapped,

swallowed]

you and

it shatters

and

it's like it was never there

but

you still feel like you're

f

a

l

l

i

n

g

{and you will never stop falling}

a

p

a

r

t

and only one person is

[holding,

keeping,

adhering]

the pieces of your mind

t·o·g·e·t·h·e·r

and you are clinging to that last

shred of hope

that somehow,

you can be saved.

{there is hope for the hopeless}

'There is hope for the hopeless.' That's a quote from the song "Come as You Are" by Crowder.
