From the Depths of Despair

Deep within me

My world tumbled down

I suffered alone

With a heavy heart

No one to turn to

No one to understand



I felt worthless

Within the depths of my being

Like a piece trash

That was kicked

From place to place

That no one bothered with



I was someone

To do things for you

Someone for you

To take out your anger on

Someone for you to hate

Just because you can



Not long ago

I made a decision

That took all the courage

I could muster

It was time to face the horrors

You put me thru



The first months

Were the longest and loneliest

I ever experienced

At times the pain unbearable

But I managed to

Keep moving forward



I am letting go of the past

Living for today

Even a little hope for tomorrow

I still have a long journey ahead

But I no longer walk alone

And in harder times, even someone to lean on
