Darkness surrounds me, though it's bright as day
I remember each moment as you walked away...

My mind is wandering, taking me under
Hardly so swift, as harsh as the thunder...

I'm a coward, a liar, a loser, and a fake
Everything I'm given is more than I can take...

Once upon a time, I knew of this face
Oh so long ago, it did not disgrace...

I know you're wondering how exactly I feel
It's useless in thinking that this isn't real...

I don't cut myself with razors
I don't live for my body to bleed...

Your laughter speaks the loudest
And you tell me that you're fine...

*Free verse, I'm sure most of you won't like it. I...
The ominous rumblings of discontent...

It sits on my desk, plain as can be
Inside it's filled with pieces of me...

You are the cause
You are my pain...

What are they afraid of..?
For what reason do they hide...

Surrounded by darkness,
There's no sign of light...
