Never Peaceful
I've done so much
I've
Felt so little
Yet the power of my emotions
Is boundless
It terrifies me
To know
That I am but a husk
Controlled by
Base desires
Never
Knowing anything
But pain
And anger
And such deep
Dark sadness
I've
Felt
So alone
In a world
Of millions
I care so much
But am never cared for
I want so much
To feel
Anything
To know love
To have peace
All I know
Is a fragile
Tenuous feeling
Of sanity
Never very
Close
To reason
Never quite here
Never quite there
In truth
I know not who
Or what I am
I am just
Here
And there
My pain aims
To
Destroy me
Becoming something more
Not knowing what to do
Nor who to become.
Will I ever know
Peace
Love
Or tranquility?
