Despair

Despair

Tension building deep inside my soul like boiling lava
My inner spirit pleading for some kind of relief
Unclear thoughts filled with pain consume my intellect

Hatred for this, hatred for that
The sea of love has forsaken me
If there is a heaven--where are the angels?

Life is so unfair
The rich get powerful and the poor torn apart
Is religion the answer?

A drink is temporary, pills are forever
If you awake, the misery is still at hand
Depression becomes your companion

Friends are valuable
when situations are at hand
but how long are they to last?
