To be Unborn

You said you hate my suffering

And you understood

And you'd take care of me

 

 

These words are not mine

I do not write

What is worthwhile

 

I just can't hear

Anything but pain

 

Any longer

You all speak some other language

Or maybe I'm just regressing

And soon I will be unborn

 

Soon I will return

To the grave that once was

Will always call

To return to me

The oblivion of home

And avoid the disintegration of dreams

 

And I will see

What is clear

To the world surrounding me
