No One Cares... Poem by william hammond

my despair is my prison, there is no golden gate,
my dreams arent my destiny, i live a forbidden fate..

i run from reality but there is no place to hide,
every turn it catches me, but its never by my side..

im really not happy, i lie if i smile,
my mind knows theres no hope but my hearts in denial..

invisible to success, only paths of rejection,
my shadow never follows me, im scared of my own reflection..

sleeping is pointless but its my only break from solitude,
weak from my struggles, i walk with the accused..

i reach for love but its never really there,
but i guess it dont really matter if no one really cares......
