I've only got one reason to live
But thousands more that I should die
There's not a single thing I can do right
No matter how fucking hard I try
I'd open my mouth to speak
But the words won't come out
Everyone says this is worth it
But my mind is shrouded by doubt
This torment was paid for in my blood
And the pain comes oh so easy
If these scars are refusing to heal
Then why can't these wounds please me
When everyone seems miles away
Even when we're in the same room
It feels like they're the audience
Awaiting my impending doom
I find solace in desecration
OF what's left of my heart
But my one reason to live
Remains my only light in the dark

oooo I really like this! It's dark and sad but well penned! I feel your pain and you know when you truely feel alone because you CAN be surrounded by a group of people and still feel alone.
Peace and Love
