We Make Our Hells

We search for an answer

To who is in our minds

But the things we search for

We never seem to find

Spinning round in circles

Praying for an end

To be lit up in neon

Just around the bend

But for those who reach the end

Are they truly appeased?

Or is the end a trial

That blows apart your knees?

Like a vacant memory

Of when the games are dealt

And you are stripped from everything

And have to face yourself

Your ugly mind, your filthy soul

Things you never thought you had

All because this cracking skin

Was covering the bad

But when your blackened bones emerge

Tied with fraying nerves

And vessels pump poisoned blood

Right to where it hurts

The pain is unbearable

And has no final end

It is the punishment for living

The punishment for death

Because the truth of perfection

And "living big and well"

Is the world's cruel reaction:

We are the ones who make our Hells
