Sorrow

I lay my head on a pillow stained with tears.

Nobody knows that I've felt like this for years.

I lie awake in a darkened room.

The thoughts in my head are of gloom.

Sad music plays to sooth my pain.

My sobs are drowned out by rain.

I feel so alone, empty and unloved.

It makes me doubt there is a god up above.

Why the pain and the sorrow if I feel the same way tomorrow?

They say it will get better and I know they're right.

But why can't it just get better tonight?

Why must I suffer every hour of every day and then be pushed around in every way?

What should I do? What should I say? It doesn't matter. Nobody would listen. It's my fault and I should pay.

I was never good enough so I deserve to hurt. 

Or do I? Is this my fault? Or is it your's? But it doesn't matter anyhow. As the tears dry, I feel better now. 

Slowly my eyes start to shut.

Maybe tomorrow will be better, but I think not.
