Agony fills me,
I feel upset,
Sad,
but mostly,
emptiness,
The world feels dark,
and surrounded by a storm cloud,
with no escape,
Life can be a glorious thing,
But also the root of all sadness,
I hear crying everywhere,
Is this what will happen to me?
I am scared and depressed,
Like I’ve been put in a box and grasping for air,
I want to say something but only one word comes out,
