Hopeless Misery Poem by Jesse Artley

I don't know what life has to offer me anymore
My joy has been taken from me
The things I want I cannot keep
The things I need are lifetimes away
I do not fit in where I am, yet I'm confined here
I long for sentimental understanding
I crave the slightest show of affection
I've always believed emotions are the key to living
But all I feel now is the urge to leave this life.
What I thought was love has shown me its ugly face
Still I crawl on, hoping for a reason to be here tomorrow.
