Loser


 

Im losing 
 
Losing is easy when losing is what rips me away from the false realities of life
 
So tangled in the web of organized prosperity
 
Taxation of hate has increased to a non refundable price that leaves us empty and
 
worthless to our generation
 
Deep in my being I feel the invaluable weight of my soul
 
Never to be replaced or compared to temporary delight
Life is the constant separation of darkness from light
As I Shed the dead skin of fear and embrace the loneliness that births independence 
I begin to unravel 
 
Who
 
When 
 
Why
 
Am I.
If I deny myself surely I'll taint my spirit
As I lay soliloquies In hopes that you would hear it 
And The world denies the extent of your sanity when they fear it
As Questions on my mind drift deeper and deeper
Im Conscious of my surroundings 
I've become a light sleeper
Just searching for a purpose losing every step of the way
I arrived at your doorstep in hoping I could stay 
Blank stares down the barrel of religion 
Time to make the ultimate decision 
and sacrifice of time and effort 
I lie awake at night,
in a constant fight to overcome my learned behavior 
Time passes and wine glasses fill but only to wash down the pill
I'm losing
Losing my grip on reality 
Oh what a beautiful fatality
