Stillborn

This river you drown yourself in
Has no end
Your refusal to live will always last
While you hide in the crevices of your past

This mire you stick yourself in
Has no end
You accept the insurmountable feat
Of a self-fulfilling inability to sleep

This skin you find yourself in
Has no end
You dream of jumping from windowsills
And burn your throat with vicious thrills

This life you hate yourself in
Has no end
You freeze your cells but cannot win
The life you reject will never begin

Has never been
Has never been
