These Hands

I am a man

Who screams by night

And smiles by day.

I look at myself, I don't see me anymore

Just a shell from before, empty and haggard.

My eyes have lost their shine.

The path ahead forgotten

Trudging through mud, looking to the sky.

Now I know for certain, soon I will die.

Not from coincidence or neglect;

From these hands of mine.
