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.
