Beneath the desolate skies of my mind
I drown, I suffocate under the weight of a thousand lonely nights
A thousand chaotic days-
Tears fall like stars from my eyes,
Which have become empty windows into nothingness, into eternal nothingness-
I cannot take this, cannot endure this anymore
Cannot endure this unbearable burden called life
Cannot continue to stumble through each painful minute-
I crumble, fall to my bruised knees in resignation,
I give in to this weight, give into the helplessness that blinds my soul,
Give in to the overwhelming sorrow that threatens to crush me
Under heavy lies and blood-soaked memories-
Submitting to that which I cannot avoid,
I break
Inside, falling apart inside
Broken
So utterly alone
