Sleep

So much to do
So much in the way
I want to forget it
And just sleep all day

I don't want to leave
The warmth of the sheets
I don't want to wake
And face the workweek

I want to get sick
I want to be ill
To be rendered helpless
If it means lying still

Don't want to see friends
Or family either
Don't want to fake smiles
While I crumble and wither

I don't want to speak
Don't even wish to dream
Don't want to be conscious
I only crave being unseen

I want to be dead
Without the commitment
I want to escape
If just for a moment

Steps..

It takes years, you start with hating living, not even considering ending your life, then you start wishing you'd die, yet not doing anything about it. Finally you entertain the thought.

Why should I live, when I'm downing in tears. Why should I try, when I'm face to face with my fears. I scream but no one hears, I'm behind a glass door in a room made of mirrors.

Birthdays

This year left me feeling completely empty. Sometimes my mind wanders back to when I felt perfectly happy.

Of Apathy

I haven't even gotten on Opuss in a shamefully long time. The truth is I've been completely dry of inspiration.

The Artist

From the day you first live It is easy to think That life would forgive That you painted me pink. An innocent child At the age of just two Thaught that life would be mild When you painted it blue.
