What's the point?

Maybe sadness is something that never goes away. Maybe the pit of nothingness that is felt never goes away. It's like having asthma, you never know when your goes to have an attack so you do everything you can to make sure you don't have one, but no matter how hard you try you will eventually have one an when you do all your left with is a feeling of helplessness. You try not to panic 'cause that'd only make it worse. In your state of helplessness you start wondering what's the point of trying to save yourself if no one around is trying to help...what's the point?
