Please tell me, please explain it to me
What's wrong with me?
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?

My veins are now ruptured
My bones too shattered
And yet I'm smiling bright
Being blind to the light.

I've questioned myself
I've doubted myself
It all ends in resentment
Until the day you found me.

I'll still wait and stand here
Feel the rotting wretched existence
Until death consumes me
Don't come to find me
A fading nobody.
I don't want to hurt you
You have to forgive me
Remember me
The way I used to be.

At once I started changing
But the things were remaining
I'm corrupt for wishing a paradise
With the paralyzing change.

I don't want to hurt you,
Who else could it be
That dwells within me?
Remember me
The way I used to be
When I was shining vividly.

-Ikiai Poet

Work
Drains your energy
Leaves you restless
Keeps you awake

Work
Stays with you
Chases away life
Putting you down

Work
Why are we doing it?
Why are we not happy?
Why are we lost?

Work
Gives satisfaction
Gives happiness

If you find the right one

La la la
La la la
I'm going down
An endless road
I do not know why
I must go
La la la
La la la

There's burning
And crashing
And brutal death
But I'll go
Until my last breath
I guess
La la la
La la la

I'm in absolute misery
I finally realized it's pointless
Open your eyes stop singing
The warning bells keep ringing
La la la
La la la

Everyday a smile
Just to appease them for awhile
Until night falls and I'll consider
How I'll fall

I'm alone now
Only walls surround me
I can stop singing
This cheery mockery

Your sharp stare
Kills me,
Each time you look

Because I choose to hide
Underneath my smile

And my makeup
That is probably deceiving

But I hope you can see
My eyes can't lie.

They are always searching
Searching
For yours
To meet mine

For they are always wanting more.

There's a piece missing that I can't seem to find it.
I don't seem to care.
I don't want to try.
That doesn't seem right.

I don't seem to feel.
It feels like charades.
Are they even mine.
Those feelings inside.

I look in time.
Is it too late to try
to find that piece
that is missing inside?

-D.L.

you cradled me and
loved me
until i felt safe enough to love you back

and then you let me go
and simply watched as i shattered on the ground

i was nothing but an experiment to you.

it hit me suddenly
the countdown you started
since you knew me
the day you met me
with silicon in your eyes
you were ready
and it hit me
a week
a month before
and i know now
how exact math can hurt more than
wondering and thinking
