burdened with pain
weighed down with shame
bowed over
haunted by memories
and a life that refuses to change
i'm so sick of feeling lost
i've tried making friends with the dark
but it's too damn quiet in here
and i hate sitting alone-
hearing myself breathe
it sickens me
self hatred runs thru me so deep
i resent all the time spent here
why the fuck can't i be done with this?
this trek thru madness yet nothingness
if nothing makes sense
then after awhile it all
starts to look the same
after awhile
you forget what it's like
in the light
with no pain
the sun on your face
laughing
there's something to be said
for that motto
"live free or die"
too weak to fight
too sick too care
too angry to heal
i hate what i've become
hiding from the sun
after awhile it just seems futile
i live in a police state
trapped by intangible walls
yet ironically enough
i fear going to jail
i guess i just don't want
concrete evidence of living out my life
imprisoned by society's
self imposed conditions
there was a time
so far away
when i almost believed
i almost could feel
pain was a beautiful, touchable thing
lust, love, rebellion, despair
how has the world been reduced to this
fake, hollowed shell
of its former self
as i cry artificial tears
