nothingness surrounds me,
cloaks me into the void.
as I lie here awake but comfortably numb,
aware of my darkness, daring not to speak of the truth.
A lie compounded, forced into being,
rejected and weak I skulk into the past.

Alone and listless, defenceless and weak.
opinion of no consequence no reason to think.
ignored by the masses, pitied by the superior,
I conceal my tears as vanish from view.

take on my heartbreak, release me from this,
my soul lies dormant, blackened and lost.
to escape from the pain, the hurt and the sorrow, I dust of my memories and return.
In anger I cry,

why me, why now
