 Desperation
(Just thought I wouldmention that this is not really me speaking. I have been in a small slump as far as writing is concerned and wanted to finish the year off with something.)

Desperation

I have been hiding behind this blank paper
Too afraid to reveal what my feelings hold
I avoid picking up my pen; stare into space
The air around me is beginning to get cold

I think of all the people who have come and gone
The loves that I had and the ones I let go
I think of my many accomplishments
But I'm left here with nothing to show

All my regrets overwhelm my thoughts
So I roll up in a ball and cover my head
If no one can see me then I feel safe
I guess I would be better if I were dead

So for those who may read this, please beware
This was not the way it was supposed to be
But now that you know this I guess you will notice
That I have finally set my soul free
