Despair

Folder: 
The Rest

I wait for the suffering to cease,

For the pain to go away.

I wait for my release,

I fear I’ll never see the day.



I’m trapped by this foe,

Which invades even my dreams.

Wherever I try to go,

I never forget the screams.



I have survived without

The benefit of a cure.

I’m starting to doubt,

My ability to endure.



I don’t know how much more I can bear,

Living in my world of despair.
