Sedative

Feeling the hope, I once felt,
drain from my body and soul.
Why does it have to be?
I can't live like this
any longer.
The insaneness or depression
will finally kill me.
Can't I have a pause of increased spirits?
That or even a sedative of silence
and a pill of peacefulness?
Who knows,
maybe it will finally kill me...
then maybe some peace of mind.
