Despair

It's hard to smile

When you're in pain

But I tend to hide the fact I'm in pain

Just for my sake

I've been broken all these years

Silent screams yearning for help

But I felt weak

To even speak

To the people close to me

I realized that I failed

To find who am I

To understand my purpose in life

Deep thoughts hitting me hard

My mind convinced me

That I'm a hopeless case

That I'm worthless

I wanted someone to save me from my thoughts

To pull me back on my feet

Reaching out for a hand

However, there was no one to reach out too

And all I can do is cry myself to sleep.
