Hall Of Despair

I walk down the cold hall
People around only see pain
All they can do is watch tears fall

They cannot see the man before
They dont see how happy I used to be
Now all that is shown is tears
All that remains is pain and misery

As I walk down that dark hall
Others are feeling the pain
Like me, their tears fall
Some the same pain
Others are different

One factor is constant as you look in the rooms
They come in pain and despair
They try to heal their wounds
Society looks down on us
For all they see is the rage
They shout and scream in fear
"Lock him or her in a cage!"

They dont see how this person got here
They dont see how they used to be
It seems society doesnt care
They come to heal the mind's wounds
As they walk the hall of despair

  2. These words ring true for many of us. The pain comes in different forms, but we all hurt the same. Well said....
