Dying hopes,
remembering all those times
dreams turned to dust,
and trying not to cry,
but always wondering why…
I don’t love anyone.
And l’m not sure l know how.
I’m not sure l have a soul.
Im not sure theres a reason to go on.
But l’m still here, and l’ll always be here…
Whether l want life or death.
Love doesn’t seem to be an option,
when ur locked in a world of lies,
fear your only companion.
Afraid to live, afraid to be.
Afraid to believe in god,
because you know you’ll go to hell if you do…
You don’t deserve to live, you see,
but you really don’t deserve the freedom of  death…
Isn’t this a paradox? Life and death,
contradicted only by guilt,
held to earth’s plane only by guilt…
Living only because you’re not allowed to die,
and knowing words are all you are…
Dying hopes,  remembering all those times,
countless and unending
that you dared to hope for something,
only to be disappointed,
whether it was for life’s pleasure of happiness
or a simple material thing,
and wondering if all the pain
simply isn’t your fault.
Of course it is, silly…
You made a mistake. You don’t deserve to live…
This is your inner voice talking to you,
Telling you to seek death,
In the cold dark arms of the angel of death,
As she wraps wings of coal around you…

this is true, and my view on life.. why l do the things l do, for that matter... lol, l guess. not depressedd.. just.. thinking.
laurie. ps. might also need to go to bed, just wrote this... hehe

thanx... l was really... not depressed, but... reflecting, l guess. l really do have stuff to feel guilty about, so to speak, and it's hard, sometimes. pretending theres nothing wrong, when you know you have no right to be happy. guess this was the result... and im glad it's dark, cause its posted in a dark forum... teehehe.
laurie. btw: l'm insane
