mellifluous lullabies

burdens

i cover my ears

yet i still hear their whispers

i close my eyes

yet i still see their fingers

pushing, screaming at me,

it got worse day by day,

i grew tired of waiting

to be in an absolute peace

yet they still pound

their burdens on me

my shoulders couldn't keep

such heavy weight,

numb to the pain

tired of it all

as i turned to death

until life leaves me

all by me own
