I am Sorrow

I am sorrow and despair

I wail in darkness where no one can hear

For no one will care.

I am anguish and frustration

A failure at everything I’m meant to do

A selfish abomination.

I am heartbreak, I am wrath

I scream against the winds that drown my voice

And destroy the good in my path.

I pound my fists against the walls

That grow thicker with each blow, with each tear

That, in bitterness, falls.

Why do I continue to rise against the storms

Why do I fight for those who fight against me

I will lay down in the hurricane that forms

And be swept into the thrashing sea

I am sorrow and despair

I hear you calling my name, but I am lost

Are you still waiting out there
