Torrid affairs ripping the world into faded shreds
Weary eyes tracing the outskirts of time
Years encapsulated in darkening bags
Life a distant thought as toxins pour into the mind
Pop a purple or a white shot of happiness
Taking your life into your own hands each time
Wallowing in self pity
Contemplating all that has past by your eyes
Dropping down to bend knee
Hands clasped together wondering where the line was drawn
Life dripping steadily from open deformities
Fear of what is unknown hardens the heart
Wrapping green paper around your wounds
Believing that the dead faces will get you through it all
Never sure yet willing to tempt fate
Life one destination a black bag of fortress caliber
Unbreakable is the end result of being
Worrying about something far beyond control
Shameful is existence
When the only concentration is oneself
In this world of the many.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Wow, impressive. I liked it, sort of had a significance for me today. Welcome, btw.
