I can see it in the dull yellow streetlights glaring off the sidewalk at night, and I can smell it in the exhaust fumes from passing cars
I can see it in my parents’ creased faces, and I can see it behind my friends’ glassy eyes
Despair
Desperation
Abandonment
Loss of hope.
I’ll run from it until I’ve taken another hit, until I’ve taken another shot, until I can’t be any more numb than I already am
But it’s always lurking right around the corner
Despair
Desperation
Abandonment
Loss of hope.

This was an explicitly visual way to put it. Nice writing. You’re right, when this consumes us and becomes all we feel, it tends to become all we can see as well. This, I can relate to too.
Good luck dbrowmm! All my hope is with you!
