EVEN WHEN I TRY


No matter what I can't escape them These voices they scream I want this life to be mine Yet karma has me grounded The people I love disappear The void I feel widens I try for the hope I'm wrong Everytime my soul is gone Nothing is worth it Yet it's all I want I need them to stop just a little break My soul is done waiting for the pain I'm gonna listen to them from now on When i try to fight all is gone In the end it's the same as before With me looking up at what was before I've done nothing in this life to deserve less I am just wishing i could try better than my best Maybe then it would fall into place Not just standing there last place They say their here to help When I listen I'm all by myself They want me all alone I'm done trying to fight them as they are Surrender and dont even try

WorthlessP.O.S.14

Nothing to tell just a figment of this reality floating amongst the the chaos we call life as we wander aimlessly hoping we are meant for more yet ever proving we as individuals mean nothing without a better half long lost to the abyss we call our society. Fuck it the shadows say im not meant for here and have been fighting the inevitable demise of my earthly form for years I need to be with my people, its home, this life is pain, heartache, and disappointment the next has to be better.
