Questioning


 

Who wants to die

Because your life is nigh

Because your mask is soon to break

 

You need to fake the pain

Because your distain

Is this in vain?

Do you refrain?

Will you sustain life?

 

Am I insane?

Does this entertain?

Are you humane?

Are we sane?

 

So many questions

But never any answers

 

 

Red blood

Orange flame

Yellow laughter

Green jealousy

Blue tears

Purple bruises

Pink cuts

 

 Life is rough

I’ve seen all these things

I’ve felt all these things

Everyone knows these things

Everyone feels them

But why

 

 

I love you 

I hate me

How could you love me

When I hate myself

 

Why do we live?

Why do we continue to suffer?

Smile, smile, keep it on 

Just a little longer

 

Hide it all

 

You need to fake the pain

Because your distain

Is this in vain?

Do you refrain?

Will you sustain life?

 

I must say farewell

My dear 

Do not fret

For I love you

And I will see you again

Soon
