Dreary Dreary
These Weary Bones
They Holler And Shudder
In Dreadful Tones
I've Strained Them So Terribly
I've Pained Them So Much
These Bones Cry Their Fury
With Each Simple Touch

Burning Burning
My Churning Guts
I've Worked Myself Desprate
I've Worked Myself Nuts
I'm Nearly Depleted
I'm Running On Low
I'm Broke And Defeated
I Really Must Go

The water hypnotizes me,
Sloshing in every direction,
The water speaks to me,
Telling me to come into it embrace,
I walk with out trying,
I'm caged in my own body,
In my head my breath grows frantic,
In my head I panic,
But the shell my body has become,
Is calm and silent,
The water is to my neck,
And Im sinking farther,
I am in the deepest depths of the ocean,
Inside I am aware,
But my body doesnt breath,
Inside I was desprate to get out,
But my body slumbered beneath the waves,
And my being living on forever,
Trapped

Cry
Scream
shout
freak
the
****
out!

cry my heart out
for everything I've left behind
My old life
my past

SCREAM
Then maybe He will see
My fear
That all our hopes and dreams
will never see the day of light

SHOUT
For someone to notice me
To hold me
I'm desprate for human contact

Freak
the
****
out
FOR
SOMEONE
ANYONE
TO
JUST
*******
TELL
ME
THAT
THEY
UNDERSTAND

tell me
I'm not
going crazy

There's an ominous melody playing in my head.
A kind of uncharted echo only heard in melancholy tunes.
Splitting and splattering against the walls of my soul.
Skin, skin is all we see,
not the depth of a vast ocean of emotions.
Every fiber and molecule taken forgranted.
Hearts are a dime a dozen in this ****** up world.
Bleeding hearts ooze broken fragments out of glistening veins.

Tearing up paper,
rewriting line after line until these words have been defined.
Defined to spell out emotions to a broken society outside of this vessel called a body.
Concrete cyinderblocks cemented to these feet,
casted out like a fishing line into the abyss of a never-ending sea.
Drowning metaphorically, gasping for air but no one cares.

Painted faces in a culture full of clowns.
Intentionally hiding pain but the paint is starting to crack.
Vicegrips continuously squeeze this life,
harder and harder as light fades.
A tear weeps across the moons face.
Icicles sparkle,
melting a desprate soul and the rain falls like shards of glass.

Searching for a trail to follow,
walking with many others down this road.
Yet walking empty and alone all in the same moment.
Nothing more than a shadow underneath feet.

Silence saturated with malingering grief,
torment residing deep within.
Memories clawing through nightmarish dreams,
barely describable.
Mired in debris from the past - ****** into quicksand.
Dreams filled with hope; dashed and dimmed like a flame from a candle.
A life extinguished,
a void created where a future ought to reside.
