Fortune Cookie

Tell me something that i would want to hear,
Words spelt out in a manner to save,
Something to shield my soul from the wear and tear,
Of the demon's claws, which the devil gave,
Clawing through my cage, will it hold;

Reincarnate my soul for a body deserving,
For this body doesn't deserve anything to hold on to,
Parched off the thirst to live a life reversing,
Cracked are it's lips , too dry to suck life from this world,
Place them, please, unto a body that's progressing

Remind me again why i seek to live,
in this world were everything seems to go amiss,
Where everytime i try to reach out and give,
My heart returns burnt and dissed;

Rid me off this weight,
Which its matter presses so hard i can't seem to breathe,
Rid me off this weight,
Which saps my energy continously into a body so frail,
'till a body without weight i become, without matter to please

I scream in agony, screams to which i fall asleep,
By the time i wake, no-one's told,
So i fall asleep again, to the screams i keep
Reverbrating through my body, 'till you words so gold,
Give me hope, in the enlightened paper to fold

I am tired of being the brave one,
So heavy is the weight i bear with no muscles,
Why shall i wake to a day without promise,
And when promise comes it seems to be taken from my premise,
Even the promise that doesn't bear any promise to the world
why hustle;

Smaller and smaller i stand
Against the world that seems to rise and stand up against me,
Bite after bite it's poison spreads to every single gland,
And like a bitten cub in it's pride,
I fall away from this feeling; from this world that i so desperately seek to understand

Is it too much to ask of you
Not to change the world, but to change me instead,
Perhaps to my questions are answers so few,
And should you be protecting me from something so true,
I still beg of you, rid me of this life so dread beyond dread

I demand an answer, without a riddle,
Why am i deprived off everything so dear?
Each day i wake up to drizzle
With no hope of sunshine but only fear:
I face this world alone with scars from the world's poison needle

Fortune cookie
You're the one chosen in my dream,
To take me in, guide me, i am your rookie
Whatever you say i pray in that same dream,
Save me, before my heart becomes hard and brittle like you
