Title: Despair Writer: Unknown

If only the world could feel what I feel Then, would the world know who I am? I've loved, lost, and feared the world, For it is sometimes too much to bare.

Wandering in darkness grope, Finding not a glimpse of hope. Fingers touch to find my way, Each foot fall, my heart betrays The fear which drives me through the day.

If only the world could feel what I feel, You would know my body is dead. My mind has been taken over, That's why I feel so scared. I can't control it, Anger is making me blind, I've been left here on my own, Chained to a hate of some kind. You would know about my fears, About all of those nights I screamed for help, About all of my fallen tears.

Control, power, is what I fear, For I am weak inside and full of pain. I shout and cry, but this I know, There is nobody there to hear me. I swallow the shame and anger, That lies beneath me.

I am lost to reality and living in time, Though I am struggling through life, And all that it offers, I am only human And that is what makes me. . . Me.

Still, I wish for the happiness and pleasure That I have earned, but realize that, I have Not yet overcome the world's greatest challenge.

Love! and how to accept it. I am ready to face my fears.
