Hopeless

A woman born into darkness
Never given what she needs
And though she tries her best
She has never been happy
Through hardships and heartache
She stands forever all alone
Always looking out for guidance
Always searching for her home

A woman born to be a failure
Never feeling quite good enough
Wanting so much more in life
Than quick start fires and dust
Her heart and trust broken apart
Years before she could comprehend
Many trespassers came and went
Quiet contempt grew for those men

A woman born to tears and longing
Never able to find the right help
Always questioning her belonging
Unable to even believe in herself
She throws up her hands in defeat
There's no point in continuing lies
As her heart lays shattered at her feet
Giving up before she can even try

A woman born to walk in shadow
Under a sky of smoke and ash
Unable to see where she should go
Too caught up in her wretched past
She wanders through the cold night
Sorrow prickling through her bones
Struggling to continue with all her might
Longing to find her rightful home
