Lonely

A lonely kid,  
I'm but a lonely kid from a broken home
A silent kid,  
I'll always be the silent boy with a broken smile  
Everything i know, I've learned in silence  
Bright days come and pass,  
Dark days come and stay  
Everything I've seen, I've seen in darkness  
Bridge after another, I burn  
Trying to create some distance between humanity and i  
I stare,  
I stare at the Vagueness in my Chest  
Layers upon layers of nothingness  
There's a city in ruins living right underneath my ribcage
Foul air, this place is a cemetery  
It's all quiet,  
I think even the birds are tired of singing
Daggers in my flesh,  
Voices in my head  
I wish to bring down the clouds  
And shoot my cry right into the sky  
I look at this cruel world and wonder  
When you see scars in my soul,  
Does that make your faces  brighter?!?!
