The Pain of My Despair

All hope is lost
My sorrow overwhelms
The silence of the noise
Screams into the ears of the hopeless
Will the depressed
Be the joyful
Will the gay
Be the deplorable
Is every label
Lost in its own lies
The hypocrites
Take over
Leaving all emotion
Dead
I’m sorry
But I can’t live in a world
Of fake delight
