[hometext] => ~. We often live our lives in a constant battle with despair. For the most part, people tend to try and be cheerful. I would like to digress and perhaps even to suggest for us to welcome despair and surrender to it for there is ultimately a deep though terrible beauty in the pit that we call despair.~
[bodytext] => Deep dark lamentable despair,
That sweet respite from terrible care, A bottomless pit of blissful gloom, Whose gentle darkness brings soothing doom, Give up all hope all ye who enter, Surrender your care to Lethe's decanter, Throw out your dreams and unbridled ambition, Drown your sorrows in the embrace of perdition, Cloud your eyes with lenses of apathy, Numb your hearts with uncaring trepidity, Let the tides of emotions wash away forever, Leave only cold numbness for our hearts to savor.
