Left in beyond gone

July 7, 2016

you scream

you cry

you wish out to the off end sky
 
what does it bring
 
where does it go
 
what do I know
 
how can I tell
 
and all I know
 
I’m just filling in time 
 
standing in line
 
the deeper I go
 
the less I have
 
nothing to lose 
 
 
do you know
 
no, another one gone today
 
thank god it wasn’t me 
 
I say id never
 
but I’m sure he did to
 
it was even in the same wing
 
right below mine
 
but now he knows 
 
where he stays 
 
he wanted out
 
to reach past the sky
 
or go below the depths
 
death is one sad thing
 
or just a new start
 
the way mass works
 
the mind contradicts
 
the perception of reality is what it is 
 
just a perception
 
my grammar may be wrong
 
but it has a message of its own
 
whats behind it is what matters
 
there is that word matter
 
something can matter 
 
but does it have to have matter?
