This is just a rant I decided to write when I was decidedly edgy. I know it is poetic garbage... the ryhmes, meter, wording.... but then again... it has a certain... weirdness.  


Call a prayer
you'll need it tonight
Look at you with your useless pleas
Thinking things will be better tommorrow
by the assurance you think is meant for you

You hate me and I'll hate you
no ones more to blame than you
Used to think what you said was true
Now I know I was wrong

I faltered under heavy hands
wonder who's they were?

You held my hand and fed me lies
coaxed me into a flawless disguise
Gave me a story, signed with a scar
pointed to the sky and showed me a star

"There I am, and do you know
your skin is whiter than the snow.
Your screams, a gentle lullaby
your tears are mine to pacify"

Pacified you did
oh, you made me bleed to remember

I left that cage of nightminds
unlocked my troubled heart
Threw it down the water way
and watched it Rip Apart

It reminds me of someone speaking of career people who basically become the fingers of someone who then crashes, walks away, and their life is empty

Like someone setting a project and achieving then wonders about their life and they will achieve since what is achieved is history
