Sprawled upon these cold title floors,
I've been painting in a tiedyed pattern.
Red and gray,
Blood and tears,
hope and denial.

Blending irrationately,
its ironic,
these inconsistant waves of pain.
All this nothingness I've tried to change.

My voice is like a whisper in the wind.
Its so hard,
when your nothing,
and your surrounded by everything.
I just want something,
besides this pain.
Anything at all to remove the stain, the constant strain.
Bleach I've tried, but still I cry,
tears which act as ink.
A black and lonely pit of despair.

I don't like to pretend I'm fine.
I've been gathering materials to design..
the ultimate sculpture of my pain.
The iron of my blood,
the salt of my tears,
the bitter sweet reality
towers high.

Graffi and disdain are displayed,
across my soulful artwork.
How dare I display
anything but my "careless smile."
Cut me down.
Granite doesn't soften easily.
You'll have to destroy me quick and brutally.
Tear me down.
Ground the powered pieces into the mud.
Oh Wait!
Thats already been done.

So I lie on this cold concrete ground.
these walls have witnessed a sound
of agony.
Red and gray paint,
in a puddle
A decoration,
and demostration,
of total and utter devestation.
