I live in fear,
And restless agony,
Faced with constant defeat,

Relying on a family,
That is but an illusion,
Full of broken promises,

No love is spared here,
Only lies and sneakiness,
Rest themselves tonight,

My happiness is absent,
With each scolding,
Eating away at my soul,

No soul will you stumble upon,
For my eyes are crammed,
With tears and uneasiness,

I be asleep at night,
So peaceful my face appears,
But inside I’ve wept for so long,

My past crimes have been great,
Countless I’ve must have committed,
For I pay for them today,

A sip of whiskey provides
What reality takes away,
At least tonight I am happy,

Missing from the world,
Which takes my life,
And wants more in return,

I am done for the night,
My eyes have wept once more
A sanitary step for my mind…

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
