The Last Letter

My world is a shattered dream,
It's so insane it makes me scream,
It's full of sadness, full of hate,
For me my life is an alarming fate.

I know of only one escape,
An escape that selfishness birthed into shape,
And I ponder if all the stories are true,
Is my soul to burn or am I born anew?

It seems that everyone knows but noone cares,
About my fate as I'm suffering here,
But before I go and before I try,
I feel the need to state my reasons why,

For life contains nothing for me,
I've begged and I've prayed but it answers not my plea.
And while nothing seems right, nothing at all,
How long should I wait? How far do I fall?

So from this terrible world I must go,
And down this river of death I must flow.
My world, my life, and my shattered dream are all sad but true,
And in this letter of sorrow I say good bye to you.
