don't you know i'm dead inside
can't you see it in my eyes?
don't you hear the screams of hell
the pleas of heaven to go somewhere else
to cold sound of endless night
endless rain and endless fright
never any dreams only nightmares
of course you don't why would you be there
I'm dead inside, these things are only a whisper of my soul
it's blackened now darker than endless night, or a ocean made of coal
I tried my best to stay alive
I cried for help as I died inside
no one came, the ones who were there left
alone in the dark I silently wept
finally my soul withered and dry
shriveled up and finally died
so now I'm nothing but a shell of a man
who needs this shell I ask myself
who needs to live when there's no one else.

In the ******* morning
And I sit staring at the wall
With these acid words consuming me whole
They say that death is what makes you dead
But I'm alive even though I'm not breathing
Do not try to save me
I'm already gone
You'll lose yourself
If you try to intertwine
Your tired soul
With mine
Way old. Wrote this last year and just found it.
Wake up
Wash up
Cook
Clean up

Attend class
Scribble notes
Speak up
And eat up

Organize
Sweep
And mop
Repeat as needed

Oh, monotony
You have found me
With your best friend,
Exhaustion

You killed my will to live
Imagination, all gone
Muscle memory keeps me going
Oxygen gives my heart a beat

I may as well be dead
My mind shuts off
The noises all gone
And good ol' monotony comes up to play.

dont embarrass me
don't call me
i don't need anything
no support
no family
no love
but i might still want you in a way
that needs you under the covers
just give me pleasure once
before i die inside

— The End —
