I’m the kind of person
That sits in the dark
Waiting for the light
But when it comes
I’m blinded



Laid bare
The truth hurts



And my wounds still bleed
Can’t you see I’m dying
Decaying in front of you
Suffocating in silences
Sick from all the people
The constant chatter
Rattling in my brain



Scarred for life
I’ll forever hide



I wish I could crawl
Find a cave for a home
Where I can be left alone
To drown in my own self petty
Self-worry, self-destruction
Self-loathing,
Lonesome,
Lonely






Take a breath






For I can’t breathe
I’m lost within the darkness of me

Oh, btw I was rereading a lot of your "old"er works...from years ago, and isn't it sad that there is way too many "expired memebers" in our old stuff.
