Despair

Inside the abyss of his mind

In this world he is blind

He feels lost, without hope

With misery he tries to cope

 

Sorrow and grief cling to his heart

As all he had known is torn apart

All is ruined and has no part

In this world he tries to impart

 

Torn and empty, he turns to rage

He turns to sorrow and turns the page

In this book of despair he stays

Until he finds a verse in gray

 

The verse is short and fits just right

To how he feels in the night

His despair clings on too tight

So lost, he cannot fight

 

Depression fills the sea

As he falls to his knees

He looks to the sky and pleas

For someone to end the misery

 

His soul is doomed, he feels demise

He is consumed, he closes his eyes

As he falls, he gives in to despair

Free at last, he gives a final prayer

 

For the world is cold and bleak

People do not love and only seek

Pain and suffering upon the weak

Shriek and cry, prey and betray

Give a prayer, you know you stray

In despair
