How Do I Feel

How do I feel?
Right now and here
Cold and Alone
Surrounded by fear

My glass is half full
Was my usual thought
But losing it all
I know there is naught

No one to count on 
No one to care
Do you move forward?
And see how you fare?

It’s not that easy
With the weight of this load
On top of my shoulders
My anger my goad

Everyone says
You must let it go
Not easily done
When feeling this low

Until you have lost
All that you’ve owned
You’ll never get me
Until you’re alone

Alone with your anger
Alone with your hate
Justice is gone
I learned this too late

And therefore the anger
Is all that remains
When no one does anything
There will never be gains

To gain in life
Is to do something good
So many do nothing
If only they would

Good. From the heart. Wholesome poetry. Please have a look at the 6th stanza, 2nd line. Probably the word 'won' has been mistyped as 'own'. Thanks
