Is this your destiny
to lie among the rest
gasping for breath
struggling to stand

Your lungs are strong
Your legs able to move on
but your heart is broken
screaming inside but never spoken

How long will you lie
lie there wallowing in it
lie there believing in it
waiting for someone to save you

slowly "he" rubs your throat
as you swallow the pill
the seed of chaos
coaxing you into your cage

You carry it inside of you
a seed, a twinkling void
slowly blossoming into
a rift seperating truth from reality

then he came smiling wide
radiant blue eyes, pastel lies
your reason to live
your reason to die

then he left you bleeding
bereft of the things you gave
making more room for the void
it pulsated with dark fervor

you turned to the bottle
you went full throttle
life at full speed
only to fill the need

and then
you fell into the darkness
you watered and nurtured
you laid down, the weight too much to bear

Until "he" came with "the only" way out
the sharp metal instrument of your escape
he warned you not to shout
only to let the wounds gape

Is this your destiny
to lie among the rest
gasping for breath
struggling to stand

Oh wow, this was very powerful.  The words impacted me.  Amazing write, loved these lines:

you turned to the bottle
you went full throttle
life at full speed
only to fill the need
