Pain filled dreams
And misguided minds
Penetrating screams
Remaining confined
Fractured ideals
And shattered beliefs
The lies they reveal
Bring sheltered relief
Melted will and wilted dreams
Burning hope and withered pride
Nothing is really as it seems
Makes you wish you hadn't tried
All sick products of a darkened heart
Sickness, pain, and relentless strife
Slowly taring you apart
Makes you want to end your life
Tired of playing this twisted game
Reeling thoughts of suicide
Ready at last to hide my shame
Time to go on that last ride
It was the only way that I could see
So I sat beside the pills and cried
I stuffed the poison into me
And I closed my eyes and slowly died
