GREY CITY
Everyone and everything in the world
seems harsh
people kill
people die
They scream and shout
Some break things fought for,
some break people
Toys abandoned by the road
A teddy bear, all alone
Manipulation
Cold-heartedness
Faking trust
Faking love
They just stare
They stare me down
Like a sideshow freak
Kindness is foolishness
Friends will all leave
(Don't they just pity me?)
I put up a facade
Being aggressive to no end
One mistake set me off
Then I was a teddy bear
that no one wants
Alone, collecting dust
Thrown out
In rain and storm
A dog rips me apart
Filthy and muddy
Just...worthless.
Feeling too much? (Don't care)
Does it hurt? (Don't think)
Word;
Living in a bubble
of self-desperation
Staying up till 4 am
To watch the stars
Piano in my head
The soft rustling of trees
Going nowhere
not caring.
Softness in my head (Now dry)
Sunshine in my head ( Now dim)
Alive, Alone ( Really?)
Till the morning come
And the birds wake me.
