"Desperation"

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me when I cry?
Can you hear me scream in anguish
knowing my life is such a lie?

Can you feel me?
Can you feel my hidden pain?
Can you feel my bitter loneliness
that is driving me insane?

Can you see me?
Can you see my masquerade?
Can you see the plastic smile I wear
just for a charade?

Can you help me?
Can you help me to forget?
Can you erase the bitter memories
that my nightmares silhouette?

Am I abandoned?
Was I abandoned from the start
just to live a mere existence
with a barren, broken heart?

I am tired!
I am tired being me!
I am tired of my dismal life
of graven misery!

I'm escaping!
I'm escaping into death
and I'll mourn the moment I was born,
until I take my final breath!
