Useless

I feel nothing
Not the sting of the cutting
Or even the emptiness within
The tears that trickle and surrender off my chin

I no longer feel
As though nothing in this life is real
I stare blankly into the face of death
And he steals me away with a last placid breath

Death is not unlike life
The same unmoving still strife
Here no one takes a second glance
At least in life I had a chance

Or did I?
Because they all knew but never asked why
How could such a frail girl
Feel the weight and pressure of the entire world

Unlike life I am happier here
Because I no longer carry that deafening fear
That dying shouldn't at least come quick
Like the slow burning to the end of a candles wick

At the end of the day I am still alone
Sitting, crying, with no emotion to atone
Nothing but an otiose undertaking
A useless mistake, not worth remaking
