cannot

I cannot see past
my own eyes
cannot think
in this rusted mind
I cannot seem
to find the time
to spread
my wings and fly

I cannot
set myself free
from this
pain
this misery
can't disconnect
from worrying
about the things
that trouble me

I can only see
the darkness here
spiked with pain
and raging fear
I dread the end
is growing near
and mourn myself
through my own tears

through my eyes
there is no sight
and in my mind
my sight is blind
across my heart
the ties that bind
are keeping me
well confined

I cannot see
past my own pain
cannot think
within this brain
maybe I will go insane
then I won't care either way
