Sep 2014

I've spent a lifetime

bathing in pools of sweat.

Thought you were my lifeline.

You prove me wrong again, and again.

My head spins as I slowly rise.

Always thought it would be different.

Used to call you "my prize".

But one thing I've never been is wise.



Constantly fooling myself left.

My body always throws me off track.

Veering around to the side I thought right.

Walking into white light that just goes black.



Listening to other people never did me much good.

Their words swim in my brain like vengeful parasites.

Influencing me to do things they think I should.

But everyone is selfish as the days turn to nights.

I've learned to find it in my to power through the ****.

Even as my Sun burns out, I still fight the fight.

Even as my everything falls deep down that pit.

Even as my darkness is eating all my light.
