Doubt

It's hard to live
When filled with despair
When all of your hope
Fades into air

When doubt controls you
and nothing is right
When your mind is filled
With unimagined fright

When everythings wasted
and nothing in reach
When purpose has left you
Doubt sucks like a leech

Perhaps if our hope
was a little bit stronger
Then maybe we'd live
a little bit longer

I liked this one better than "Dread" not that "dread" was bad. This is short, but says a lot and really hits the mark. I would suggest the following:

When everythings wasted
and nothing in reach

"When everything is wasted
and nothing is in reach

This poem flows nicesly. The only thing I would change is "and nothing is ever right", I'd just drop the "ever" so it reads "Nothing is right". I stumbled over it trying to keep the tempo. But this was good. Thank you.

Thank you Robert, sorry about its depressive state, all my poetry is like that.
