Zeroed.
The dark wave rolls slowly over me,
Plummeting me way and far too deep.
My eyes shut tight, I see mosaic
But the wave is so strong, still they weep.
I tire so, beyond exhaustion,
As though it's never otherwise.
An endless cycle of defeat
Leading only to my demise.
Things small and large do burden
'Til a mountain weighs me down.
The nurse gives me medicine,
I refuse despite his frown.
The meds make me not me,
Makes it so I don't care.
I can't take that as right,
It's no good, it's not fair.
I don't want this life,
There's no quality.
Do the staff here care
Or just want the fee?
Not me's no good!
Why be here then?
Shall leave this place,
This world of men.
Good turns bad,
Life's not fair.
Always find
Joy so rare.
Cruel world.
Bad rep.
Roof top.
Last step.
Drop
Down,
Crush
Crown.

Zeroed.
The dark wave rolls slowly over me,
Plummeting me way and far too deep.
My eyes shut tight, I see mosaic
But the wave
by Sid de Knees
I did not expect that!
There was one to the left, one to the right,
there I was caught in a horrible fight.
Pushing and
Flashes of the future come:
Scourging whips and lashing tongues.
Betrayal from a cherished friend,
where will all the heartache
by Carol Gioia
Weary and downtrodden,
feeling powerless,
beaten by the odds,
overcome with stress.
Thwarted by limitations,
succumbing to frustration,
by Bobby Coles
Boiling point reached a couple of stressors ago
Seems as though you're in a self-induced prison
Nowhere to turn to, nowhere
