Useless

emptiness flows through your veins
you have nothing to gain
other than the hatred which lays hidden in the dark
what else is there to do in order for you to leave a mark?

you want to prove to be a person of dignity
yet so many people can barely see
how hard you try
and how many times you've cried

trying to bring yourself to be true
making every effort too
everyday just keeps disappointing you
there seems to be nothing you can do

sadness is what your life brings
pain is what comes from everything
hope is lost in your world of deSpAir
it's too bad that no one even cares
