Fear and Violence, Numb and Desolate

Fear and violence
the scent
that seeps through my soul 
numb and desolate
time spent
an emptiness that finds me
Oh, the roads... oh, the avenues
Without you
Before you
Because of you there is Happiness
Life's blessed
My day is bright
I no longer hide
Who I am, so near to complete
If only these things did not haunt me
fear and violence
numb and desolate

"Who I am, so near to complete"- great verse. Lots of emotion and good imagery throughout. Good job :)
