Only a Voice

I was asked how I endure, but truly, I do not
Flesh screams in pain, I've been breaking inside
I haven't an answer, I haven't a choice in my path
This world offers nothing, oblivion offers silence
I am unable to rise above, never escape the wrath
There is nothing within, and only pain without
My life is fading, but was never with in doubt
My flawed being left a mark behind in shadow
I never questioned my existence, only my choice
I lift my prayers, but worry it is a only a voice
No power unleashed, no forgiveness within
I'm alone, forever alone, cold as a stone
Now cast into the abyss of sorrow
Trapped forever in the solitude
Of the pariah and outcast
