Despair Unfair despair is always there, I am a burden just taking up air. I feel unworthy of your love, a disappointment, not good enough, I want to crawl into my bed and stay there lost inside my head. But poison leaks from a voice inside, I cannot run from, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run to, to feel safe and warm, no peace, no calm before the storm. A river of rage that swells within, I've no more fight so I give in, to all the doubt and pain in me, the blame I aim internally. Black and blue with self doubt, one more blow and I'm knocked out. I can't defend against myself, I just need help from someone else, to pull me from this quickening sand, to hold me close and help me stand.
