Facing the world with your soul stripped bare <br />Coming forth into a world full of mystery <br />Believing in something that isn't real until now <br />As it is the only thing left to see <br /> <br />The blood from your veins rushes to the floor <br />Your heart pumping the impurities out that caused this pain <br />Rules are bending to suit your murderous life <br />As you will never see the light of day again <br /> <br />Scratching at the rash that has taken control <br />Voodoo preventing you from a premature death today <br />Talking to the people you know but don't recognise <br />As your presence in this world has already faded away <br /> <br />Deprived of the things you need the most <br />As life has gotten overwhelming and too much for you to handle <br />Slipping away to the place that you feel safe in <br />And the only light you have is the light from a single candle <br /> <br />Standing alone in a place that is moving so fast around you <br />Shattered by the lies of those on higher ground <br />Longing to lash out and have everyone pay attention to you <br />But still no one hears a single sound <br /> <br />Losing control of what you had power over <br />Gaining control over what was never real <br />Reality becoming a dream and a dream becoming reality <br />As there is no one else one is left to feel <br /> <br />Taking away the will that was given to you <br />Giving back what you received over the years <br />Collateral damage counted up until the world is destroyed <br />as you hide behind these uncontrollable fears<br /><br />Joanne Kearsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lifeless-2/
