Dark skies in a light world,
Feelings that engulf the innocent,
A life where everyone must pay the price,
The one that I can’t pay.
.
A soul engulfed by unknown darkness,
A heart thrown from every other heart,
A body broken by the invisible ties of the universe,
Eyes that are blind to the most important things.
.
Everywhere I walk,
There is only rain and no sun.
Anything I touch,
Bursts in flames at my sparking fingers.
.
I’m going now,
An umbrella high in my hand,
I turn to my destination,
The rain so loud that I can’t hear.
.
There are people here,
So many I can’t count,
And they look at me,
There are no words, only stares.
.
Stares that scratch away my mask,
Revealing who I truly am.
Stares that rip through my soul,
Causing me to bleed eternally.
.
I fall to my knees,
The umbrella on the ground.
Purple polka dots with orange end up in my face,
And I can’t see, I can’t see them.
.
Crying tears of anxiety in a crowded sea,
My soul bursts from this ugly body of mine,
Extracting with it a piece of me,
And now I am nothing but an empty body lying on the ground.
.
Doomed from the start,
Doomed to never be anyone,
I become this thing,
This lifeless human.
.
Like an electronic without its batteries,
Like a doll without its head,
Like a car without its engine,
Like a song without its lyrics,
Lifeless,
Dead,
Unknown.
.
A dream,
A care,
A bomb,
Now there’s nothing there.
.
.
.
.
Nothing is left of me…..
