This life, lost -I no longer believe the need.
This life, too dark -I often, cry, bleed.
This life, encompassing -takes too much out, doesn't let me scream.
This life suffocates, the air noose-filled, I choke.
This life kills, softly creeps in -a deathly smoke.
This life tortures, my soul signed -awaits on tender hooks.
This life crushes, wishes, dreams, hopes -don't look.

No life in that ghostly face, Sitting wordless, gazing into space. Purple bags beneath eyes, Body numb from all the lies. Only life is ragged breath, Inches from life, inches from death.
Surrounded by people, I give a smile, Blend into the old routine. Everyday, Every hour, Every minute another lie. Calm and collected, Funny and polite, Everything one should be.
You try and make me cry. But what if my eyes are dry. You try and make me feel low. But what if iβm so low. You canβt bring me down anymore. You try and point out all my flaws.
I stand here. Just staring at empty space. I daren't feel. My fears I cannot face. They twist my gut. My chest feels tight. In this tunnel of mine. There is no saving light. I walk with a dark cloud.
Swamped, suffocating, Pressure to smile. Yet the plastered grin mask goes unrecognised. Angered screams of help muffled by blankets of stronger louder voices, Defacing my screams into white noice.
Feeling this pain I collapse into bed Not in my body In my heart and my head All I see is darkness Quickly closing in I can't escape it's evil grasp I fight but never win The feeling overwhelms...
Cry myself to sleep, Watch my eyes colors bleed. A shot in the dark. Spark & shock, restarting my heart. Down a slippery path of arrogance. Whispers of a different muse.
Truth develops sadness. Eyes develop tears. Mind develops madness. Alone i fight my fears. Not a soul left to talk to. Not a soul left to care. Not a soul left, where are you.
