Another dull ache

In the everyday pain of life

Sometimes shattered

Sometimes only cracked

But, never whole

Never complete

Trying to gather all the pieces

Only for them to slip through

Ghostly fingers, can't seem to hold it together

This life feels like a punishment

When does it stop

This seemingly endless suffering

Like a glass bottle

Bobbing up and down

In a river of pain

Only a matter of time before it has it's fill

And sinks

She's almost full up

Full of anger
Full of resentment
Full of disgust

She wishes not for death, but to have never existed at all.

Where did I go?
Should I go with the flow?
Did I lose myself?
Is that me on the shelf?
Can you lend me a hand?
Or are you on your last stand?
Does using your senses disappear?
Or, maybe use your eyes or ears?
Could it be my worst fear?
Who have I become?
What says my cerebrum?
Can you answer that?
Am I falling flat?
What can we do?
Feeling  blue, are you, too?
Is this as awkward for you as it is me?
Don't you want to be free?
Why so many questions?
Why deny my affections?
I mean, how many can there be?
Don't you want to see?
Don't you want to just go home?
Or, do you wish to roam?
Is there enough time before dark?
Did you hear the dog bark?
You hear it, too?
Do you think it's just us few?
Thank goodness, but what now?
Do you smell something foul?
Ugh, is that something sticky?
Gross, better get out of here quickly!

I'm a Disappointment.
I'm an Eventual ****-up.
I'm an utter *******.
I'm not Dead.
Yet.

When I'm feeling lame
When things just aren't the same

When I want to die
Or just want to cry

Close my eyes tight
Try to make it through the night

Her world is crashing
Down, down
All around her
She cries out
Time to release
All the pain
All the fear
Nowhere to go
No one to care
Tired of fighting
She ceases struggle
The battle's lost
Lights dim
Thoughts fade
A faint smile rests upon her lips
A rare pleasure...
Overridden by hope lost
And countless tears
Now she may rest
Yes, now you may rest Girl
Peace at last
Your wish come true
Cry no more, don't speak
Sleep, sleep...

What would this world be
If everyone had a mind like me

Shadows cover me
What you get isn't what you see
Deny your guilt
You make me sick
How do I deal
Begging for truth
Hide behind your shame
How dare you cause me so much pain
It's your deceit that's killing me
Don't you see
Your TRUTH will set me free
