I live a bleak existence.
I had no instruction manual, no support system, and no one to turn to in my life, and I still don't.
The environment I grew up in was unhelpful; my choices during my life further created a world of nightmarish memories and only made my life darker and more difficult.
Now:
I sit in my darkness, looking for a light but not finding a way out.
I have been trying to find hope in my life for decades, and it is so dark I see none.
I do not see any doors to open or keys to use.
I am so deep in the abyss of darkness that I can't see anything positive.
I have no skills that would allow me to light up this dark hole I am in so that I can even begin to see and understand what I am dealing with.
Sitting here, I think, have I done the impossible and dug a hole so deep in my life that I have crossed the point of no return? a point where there is no ladder tall enough and no rope long enough, am I really at the point where I can't save myself and recover?
