My Letter.


this soul is weary

and expired

i am sleepless,

i am tired.

i just wanna go home.

people keep saying this is supposed to be the best time of my life.

i just want it to be the end, of my life.

i have nothing left to give,

and still they take from me.

i have come to realize that i truely do not matter.

this carcass i am forced to call my own is tired.

my soul is tired.

my mind is tired.

i know i'm supposed to get all my strength from Heaven and i try.

but it's so hard and i'm so tired.

i just want to close my eyes.. and never open them again.

i want to yell " i'm done!" in exasparation and drop dead.

i want to fade into oblivion and never come back.

i want to feel a bullet pierce my heart, and the heat with which it tore through me.

i want to feel a chain around my neck, squeezing and tightening until i fall to my knees.

i want to feel the poison turn my viens to ice until it becomes unbearable.

i want to feel myself become weightless until i crash to the ground with all the force of a dying star.

but instead i sit here.

just as broken as before.

and nothing changes.

i put down the pen.

i lie in bed.

then i get up the next day.

and start over again.

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
