When long tendrils of despair

Weave lost hope for heart stripped bare

In the night where darkness reigns

And all choices seem in vain

When mind stews in skeptic pot

Seasoned with defeat's distraught

Offers soup that poisons dreams

Shredding thoughts of self-esteem

Reject venom of hard day

Find a path, reverse doubt's sway

Steps to soothe a battered soul

Simple steps where hope can stroll

Steam droplets warm soul's chills

Story's words are blissful pills

Playful critters provoke smiles

Harmonies lift hearts from trials

Favorite films a balm for burn

Pillow snooze revamps mind's churn

Simple steps where hope can stroll

Steps to soothe a battered soul
