Limping through loneliness Existing in a reality that is wholly mine Living only for death Following the beam just outside humankind Answering to no one Knowing you wouldn't answer my call Dying to live Dying to escape from it all Gasping for breath Pushing a life rigid steel and cold Pray for answers Resenting God for putting me on hold Mumbling to the four winds Passing cars invite salvation Plodding ever aimlessly Resisting my suicidal ideation Stroking yellowed beard Sweating inside layers stained and rotten Drinking pain away Realizing I'm simply, sadly forgotten
