Fade to Black

Blinded by reality
Deaf to the world
Walking alone
In a nightmare
Searching for my place
Unrealistic dreams
Unreachable goals
Pain and suffering
Fills this chaotically lost soul
Humanity ignoring the needy
Casting me aside
Sweeping me under the rug
Out of sight
Out of mind
Living in sin
Stealing
Cheating
Running
Hiding
From the world
Lies spill from my lips
Compassion long gone
Playing for self amusement
Only for my own pleasure
Heart after heart
Destroyed
Left tattered and torn
An angry soul
Raging against society
Simply an outcast
Rolling the dice
Playing the odds
Loosing in the game of life
On the ground
Puddles of crimson liquid
Surround me
Soaking me
Shadows of the night
Slipping away
Sunrise creeping upon me
In the gutter
I lay
Looking around
Watching the world
Slowly disappear
One last scream
One last cough
One final breath
As everything escapes my sight
And my soul
Fades to black

    I completely understand the sentiment and feeling of this piece. The way in which it is found to find me in a way - a connection felt through the piece. Tony.

    Wow. This was a very powerful piece. I am impressed how it was chaotic feeling, but kept the pace and momento until the unexpected ending.
