I Am Surrounded


I Am Surrounded

By the suffocation of the bodies

That seems to be seeping out the lies

And nothing but that. 

 

I Am Surrounded

By the everlasting stench of

"No one wants to care. I am alone."

And nothing but that. 

 

I Am Surrounded

By the faceless, shadowy figures

Pushing me around like I am nothing

That seems to matter to no one. 

And nothing but that. 

 

I Am Surrounded 

By the surroundings that seems to close in on me.

I Am Surrounded by the darkness suffocating me, making me die of asphyxiation.

I Am Surrounded by "people" I don't want to be surrounded by.

 

I am surrounded and I am alone.
