'Let This Pain End.' Poem by Mahfooz Ali

There’s something wrong with me
with all this hurt inside,
always bursting with anger,
and never any pride.

If all I do is cry,
I can't stop this pain
all I want to do is die.

If my emotions run wild,
all this confusion does
is make me feel like a lost child.

With all these terrible things,
always there and never gone
depression is what it brings.

If I can't stop these thoughts,
all this pain does
is turn my head in blue.
Something is truly wrong with me
when I think there's only one way out,
'Let this pain end.'
