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?
