1.
As the wave collided with my chest, I realise what lies within. Left with the kiss of death, As you bow down with ever aching sorrow. Taught only the truth from within lies, Poisoned by words which led to your demise. Abandon your morals as the curtain unravels, expose, Reveals the truth behind a face of deceit. Bound by endless misery. No remorse For what is left. For the damage done and what is leftto give? Fake promises Spoken by a liar’s tongue, Ignorant to what you become. As my eyes start to veer away, As my thoughts start to decay. There will be nothing left, Lost in this memory. You are the burden on my back, carrying dead weight. I can’t carry someone who wont bare the flag with me. As I felt the wave collide with my chest, I realised what lies within. Cast down by the hands of god, You are nothing to no one anymore.

I Begin to dissipate, Forced between a wall in a violent state. Distance myself from the world that caves in. Tireless attempts with no means to an end. Its like fighting a disease, that I create that suffocates. Breathing in and out trying to find pace. It can’t go, it won’t drift away. Stressing myself with the darkest fears, But the pressure grows deeper and deals its pain. Restless thoughts with illusive dreams, conjure my reality. Terminal, stuck with an illness, mentally deafening. Deafening controls me, by the powers that be. Breaking me, set me free. If I could cleanse my thoughts, I would lay it all to waste. Grieving the thought of my skull crushes me, buried beneath the surface. On edge, onus the feeling the auras around me. Taking the first step to coalesce, I’ll fight the pain that buries me.

Desensitised. Reverie at an endless cycle. decipher the value consciousness and reality. Sorrow deep inside the soul, reflecting on the eternal storm. Extinguish the flame, my hollow vessel to carry the weight. Nothing left, inside of me. Time passes by. Nothing is right. Constant efforts turn to endless sorrow. Wishing for the worth, Misery takes hold pulling me through its agony. As I beg for my own death, While I stand at the precipice. Wide eyes, cold stare. As I call to the void It will sing back my name. The burden of life, as I try to survive. Gives me one reason to stay alive. Sorrow deep inside the soul, reflecting on eternal storm. Extinguish the flame, my hollow vessel to carry the weight. Nothing left, inside of me. Granted life with purpose, but I’ve been left with this burdened life, The current pulls me below the pressure. Starting to accept this fate that nothing will change, I begin to disappear. The burden of life, as I try to survive. The burden of purpose, all else is worthless.
