Poem: I want to fly,
But my wings have been clipped
I want to be free
But I''m trapped in my skin
Can I find solace in eternal rest?
Meagre food for souls forgot,
Grit your teeth darling,
This next bit is going to hurt like hell
The easy way out is enticing,
I see no point to life,
Just routine and mediocrity,
It works for everyone else but
drives my mind crazy
The little boy in me is lost,
Hes on a path of self destruction
I ask him to wait,
I want to lead him into the light
He disappears, and Im alone again
Is it all worth it?
Memories of good times,
never to be had again.
The future is blackened
my mind teeters on a tightrope
falling is just a matter of time.
What is the point to life
when it''s so joyless and mundane?
I want to do things but don''t know what
I want to feel things but I only feel confusion
