The Never Changing Outcome Of All Things
-
A long way home from Hell
Thee intertwinings serve me well
I cannot go back to the dried up wishing well
Because it's worthlessly empty now
So I am no longer coming back around
Thee uneasiness is unpleasing to my stomach
But I still roll out of bed and say "fuck it"
It's always time to live life
Every day and every night
Saying "so what?" to every "goodbye"
I let go of what I need to
And keep truckin' on
I feel the void take over
But life goes on
Spiraling out of control
Recklessly aimless in despair
Desperate for change
And seeing no way
For that change to take place
Being in so much pain
That you can see it all over my face
With no luck of being able
To accept my misfortune
And not make me even more disabled
Taking the "will to live" away from me
And replacing it with "fear of living"
The way I ought to be living
And just staying in my mess
With the tainting of destruction
Overspilling all over the place
Damaging everywhere I go
No freedom from life's torture
Just a battle of not going on any further
When the dawning of uneasiness
Eats me in the back of my head
I refuse to make a move on any one
To save my life from myself
As I get taken under the current
Of psychological ruin
Ran over by every woman
With their hatred
And their lak of involvement
Spinning around my ability
To pay attention to such a misfortune
With even the "bright side" of things
Being so depressing and uncomfortable
That life just hurts to live
Tired of it all ending up this way
With every one I meet
How can I not be cynical
When these types of things
Just continues to refuse
To not happen to me?
Thee energy of disliking it all
Only feeds my resentment
And fuels the fire
For a desire for vengeance
Wanting to kill
More often than ever
But never being able to
And repeating "whatever" over and over
Until I can no longer take it anymore
Which who knows will be when?
"When will too much be too much
And I can no longer take this fucked-up-ness?"
An answer I have not heard
As the wheels of life spin around
Profoundly insane
Thee unbearable living never ends
And why should it end?
I haven't earned a better way to live
So this is just how it is
A misery I can't escape from
Is and will always be
Thee inevitable outcome of me
Just being myself
In a world that doesn't even want me
To be around
I cannot laugh at it all
Because it's not even funny
But I will fester my anger
Because that's unavoidable
When I want nothing more
Than to reverse all the bullshit
That life gives to me
All the peoples' attempts to destroy me
I want them all to suffer
For trying to get me to self-destruct
And walking all over me
Turning me into nothing
And making me their trash
Throwing me out of society
For forever more
Due to my cynicism
Creating this cycle
Of hating them
Because of them hating me
For me hating them
And them hating me
Because I hate them hating me
And it will not ever end
Because they just will not stop
So can can I stop?
I will never be free
From this kind of life
Only bound to be in this Hell forever
I can't see it any other way

The pain is palpable. I can taste it, feel it in the pit of my stomach. You take the reader there. Fantastic job. I have some new stuff up if you get the chance.
