There's No Hope

I came across this recently...and it touched a chord somewhere...

There's No Hope


you don't even know the pain i feel

when i start to question what is real
i know you're the cause
my lust for you gnaws
its way, through my brain
and i'm here, alone standing
by myself, with tears of understanding
rolling down my cheeks

this time i'm really confused
about what i should do
i have this fear of never being satisfied
i can't find stable happiness,
i've tried and tried ,
this isn't easy,

i'm the butt of my own joke,
i want some affection, this is all i hope

but now i know my bended
heart won't be mended
by your love....
no longer will i cry
or ask for help from up above
and i'll live my life until i die
wondering if i'll ever be satisfied
it's not easy being the butt of your own joke
i want some affection, this is all i hope

-Derek del Barrio

You knw i guess at some level everyone may b able to relate to this poem......but i guess i no longer subscribe to this thought process......never let ne one become so important to u tat their leaving u creates such a void tat can never b filled......life is to b lived to the fullest.......we dont have the luxury to spend moping around.......i'd rather live a short but eventful life compared to a long one filled with misery.......true happiness lies in achieving in wat u always dreamt of becoming......n still if u really feel damn depressed just go n WATCH PORN
