Despair
It tries to tag along with challenges
It tries to sneak in with bad news
It tries to occupy the empty spaces within
It tries to enthrone defeat
It wants to snuff out the light
It wants to Evict hope and keep it out
It wants to isolate its host
It wants to reign unchallenged
It is the cheat code of evil
It is how evil wins without raising a hand
It is how evil deceives you into defeat
It is why the playing field must be leveled
Hope
It overrides despair
It mends broken hearts
It strengthens Willpower
It drives its host forward
It shields the heart
It preserves the soul
It ivigorates the spirit
It reveals possibilities
It is God's winning hand
It is God's guiding light
It is Calvary's Aha! Moment and a Risen Christ
It is Christ sweeping in and defeating evil
