Feeling crushed by the hand of fate trust collapses, crumbling away. And abandoned to fear and hate, an emptiness consumes my day. Walking blind, convinced I can see, anxieties rip me apart. And denying what defines me, cascading doubts fracture my heart. Alone, I am bullied by fears as all my hopes and dreams depart. And I drown in the wake of tears when the pangs of loneliness start. Forsaking promises of youth, I question why my birth took place. And as deceit replaces truth, it's like the whole world's in my face. Aching; yet addicted to pain, I've been hurt by both foe and friend. And subject to lies and disdain, I thank God that life has an end. (Quatrain) 1/13/2017

This poem is very deep and emotional. A beautifully written expression of dark emotions. I can relate to it. You're not truly alone.

Thanks Christy, I'm afraid we all share these feeling at some point in our lives, Emile.
