Just shallow, raspy breaths in this hollow paradise,
and nothing that inspires me to open my eyes.
The barren ground gives me no reason to rise,
and I touch nothing that satisfies.
The shoes that hurt and clamp on my feet,
painful, black leather's the only thing I meet.
Smiling every day is such a great feat,
sad words in thousands of ink-stained sheets.
Uncountable, the laughs.
Unforgettable, the scowls.
Undeniable, the acts.
Undetectable, the frowns.
