Do You Know Me

Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain,

living a life with nothing to gain,

Surrounded by darkness, overwhelmed with shame. 

A life without peace with no one to blame. 

Do you know of a place unseen, 

A place that holds only shattered dreams, 

A place filled with sorrow with no end in sight, 

I am given this gift each and every night. 

Do you know of a place so cold, 

This is the place I call my soul,

A place without hope or comforting dreams,  

A life not worth living wouldn't it seem.

Do you know of a life that should have never been, 

And the feeling that today this life has to end. 

One more day of sadness is much too hard to bear, 

I am tired of living a life of heartache and despair. 

Do you know a person with so much pain inside, 

Or the feeling of loneliness when no one hears your cries, 

Maybe when the tears are gone and I can clearly see, 

The only question left will be...

DO YOU KNOW ME.
