lost

another day becomes~
awake but numb from the pain
do the same thing everyday
boredom eats away the delicate mind

use the heat of angry wrath
to forge a weapon for defense
to cauterize the wounds
there is only one escape

another reality becomes~
twisted maze of thought; no dead ends
something here is different
curiosity draws in the fragile

use the heat of angry wrath
to forge a weapon for defense
to cauterize the wounds
there is only one escape

another life destroyed~
lost forever to the world
safe only where reality is not
apathy erases the torment of the past

lost forever to the world
lost forever to the world
lost forever to the world
lost forever to myself~
