THIS WORTHLESS LIFE
This knife rams in my gut again
God help me as I fade away
I lay down, drown in my own sin
There is no point to it all anyway
F*k this worthless life
Maybe I should just take these pills and die
Fade into the arms of twilight
Fade so fast I don't even close my eyes
And all we did was an illusion of progress
And all we hoped for was a catalyst for fear
And all we wanted was for a piece of greatness
And when we fell we landed here
This weight, it's paralyzing me
This pain consumes me, I cannot breathe
While my ink has faded into blood
'Cause my words just weren't good enough
And the light at the end was just the train
These drugs meant to help just destroy my brain
And there's no point when every path is the same
There's no point when every road leads to pain
The ones you love have no clue what goes on
In the hellish darkness that wrote this song
F*k this worthless life
Can death really be better than the way I feel tonight?

The soldier boy was sitting calmly underneath that tree.
As I approached it, I could see him beckoning to me.
The battle had
by Betty Blake
This pain has taken over a huge part of me.
It started as a wee bit pimple and now, it
has festered into this gigantic 'sore'
EMERGENCY ROOM
Degrees Fahrenheit: I arise
cold, according to mercury
but later burn. The numbers lie;
blood pressure, pulse
by Anzar
Pain
In memorable memoirs
Desirable desires
In seductive thoughts
Waiting clocks
In delightful pleasure
Life’s treasure
I
I inhabit a lifetime of hours
Where forewarnings and prophecy
Are delivered unto me through parchment
My upturned visage
