Breathing

I sit here, empty, I’m barely breathing

I cry in my darkness, void of all feeling…

In a world full of selfishness, I’m eaten alive

Flesh and happiness; a wound, I die.

Tears flow endlessly down my flesh

My heart so broken, I draw no breath.

Numbing my agony, I cut into my skin,

Praying I could disappear, bleed from within…

Breathing so faintly, forsaken and unseen

Beating me until white bleeds red, dying within a dream?

Haunted by my wretched shadows, in desolation from you, I ran

Scars sear into ashes, destroying all I am.

Crying into suffering, all efforts spent in vain

Burned by all the torture, I’m drowning in my pain.

Hiding from my sadness, I’m blinded by your hate

Cutting off my oxygen, I go to meet my fate.

Falling from my memories, my death sentence delivered

Looking back on all I knew, my broken soul has withered…

Breathing in the ashes, choked by all who survive,

Suffocated from all the anguish, I cease to be alive.
