Life......Wanting To Die

living life......

�.......wanting to die.
experiencing the sadness
my eyes refusing to cry

tears
that have evaporated
into the sorrows
the perception of failing,
having overshadowed
all the joys of life

trying
to plant seeds of hope
and good and earnest
into the lives of
those you love,
those you cherish,
those you'd give your
very life for......

�...only to find
that in all you've done,
no one
seems
to want or
care.

that which
you hold dear,
gives you hope,
holds you here...

when there is nothing left to give, no one wants you anymore

just a traveler
discovering
the cruel revelation
that the �whom�
that you are
is so far away from home

�..yes, truly all alone

with sensitivities
raised
swirling aimlessly
into the haze
of a ghastly malaise

trying hard
to hide
behind a smile,
trying to stifle
the screams
of your soul's greatest fears
loosing,
yielding all control
a resolve
to simply die

reaching out
for someone,
anyone
to grasp hold of your hand

an epiphany-�no one here wants to help you, man�

mortality, failing
just a little more
each day

every song you hear
making you long
for better days
that seem so far away

lifting prayers towards heaven
hoping that
�this too shall pass�
today

removing the mask,
unfeeling the shame
begging for mercy
simply wanting relief
from the pain

of life?

Into death�.simply
� � � � � �waiting, wanting to die
