Killing is killing whether done for duty, profit, or fun Awake but I’m not worth the sunshine Asleep but I’m not worth the moon light Dead but I’m not worth the demise Alive but I’m not worth the height I wake to smell the winter coming through the opened window In the form of a cool breeze blow I’m a stranger to myself and stranger to those Who call themselves companions, only foes Put me here in this bed Applied these wounds to my head Trying to repiece the events of my rise and fall My friendship I guess wasn’t so good after all My replies were only muted by their bats and fists I realize all my friends are worth being missed Then I get a good night kiss from a drop Of the final blow to my head while they decided to stop I tried to beat the pain but there was so many Now I haven’t the luxury of pain or anything, any Numb to the gestures greeting me at coffin I wish someone would close the window its not hot in Here just please let me rest where I lay in this bed Did I mention in this home for the dead? I think its time I go away To hear the songs and play those needed to play But I’m still here envying me My white teeth, my face, my ego, my arrogance, see The fake just doesn’t peer from my pores It greets you all too great, all the more All for nothing or all for them to see And I’m nothing but something I shouldn’t be. hi, this is my first time posting on the internet. thought i'd try it. bye.
