Despair
You feel that no one cares
You feel your family doesn’t.
And your so-called friends could care less
Because your life seems too much of a mess.
You feel ready to give in
To the temptations you’ve long been battling
Because no one is helping you
To get rid of this addictive sin
You have no money to enjoy life’s pleasures
Or you do and it just ends up causing more disasters
Everything is meaningless, painful garbage
And there seems to be little meaning to life
Everyone’s causing you much strife.
You are all alone with nothing left.
Why do you not see
The only Hope that will save your life?
Very powerful poem, something to really relate to. I like what you do with the refrain, the "You feel..." sets a nice tone to the poem. The last line was very powerful!
