I Want To Bleed

I want to bleed

To make sure I am still living

The pain growing inside my chest

I want to bleed

Please mercy let me bleed

Bleed out as my body falls limp

Surrender to the pain

'Cause that is all I feel anymore

Happiness is a mere apparition in an obis

Of eternal darkness

We like to sugar-coat it

With peace and humanity

But the black hatred

Will always over power the light and love

War will always take down peace

I want to bleed out the happiness

For it will only bring deeper grief.

What is pain? An excuse to numb our ability to deal with reality.We all indulge in something that causes ourselves or someone else pain to numb the reality. Being human I don't think we will ever be rid of this problem.
