Oct 2017
A little sooner than I expected.
Felt the same way millions of times before.
Pushed down onto the sidewalk
Or treated like a mat.
It gets worser every time.
This time, it's you.

Was under a false pretense.
Hoped that you were it.
Time and time again I've been under a hoax,
Like a trance
But with a huge ripple effect.
Shock waves of pulsating movements
That live on for an eternity.
Being scarred deeply;
Bleeding through the lacerated wound.
Watching the bomb go tick-tock-tick-tock;
The impact is hard and deep,
But I've always got something to say.

Hear me out,
Hear me loud.
You've broken me
And I can't be fixed.
Constant fear fades away,
Letting mundane life take over.
Sad to say you've had your chance,
So now I'll see you on the other side.
