Little pins and needles pierce my skin,
as blackened hearts leak out the pain.
Lullabies don't present themselves -
for there is no sleep to be had here...
Uncontrollable misery is set loose
...someone knows I am alone.
A smell blossoms;
death is awaiting my arrival
as I take each step
I understand how life works.
One must be willing to embrace
one's soul for happiness
and
sacrifice it as well.
