Could I Stand It

Living in a world of darkness.
Could I do it?
Could I imagine it?
Could I relate?
Could I?

Living in a silent world.
Could I do it?
Could I be this brave?
Could I stand it?
Could I?

Living in a world of hate.
Could I do it?
Could I survive?
Could I glean any happiness?
Could I?

Yes, and I believe this is why people give up, because they focus on these things and see nothing bright.
