Abyss 

...There didn't seem to be any point in fighting this.  My mind drifted to a dark place.  It was the place where hope never goes.  I stepped to the edge of the black pit I had heard about, but never looked for...and peered into it. 

For the first time, I understood why people kill themselves.  It was from lack of hope.  Hope for a better future is what keeps us going.

That abyss was deep and the bottom was nowhere to be seen.  There was only darkness and fear down there, an even darker, more fearful place than the inside of my mind.

     Get out of here.  Get away from here, fast!
