Consumption

This feeling that has consumed me,

This life that has tortured me,

These people that are mean to me,

These eyes that see through me,

The stares and whispers that haunt me,

The truth that I cannot yet see,

The guiding light that is years too late,

Seemed to have sealed my fate,

How much longer can I make it on my own?

How long until my wounds are sewn?

What must I do to be what I want to be?

What must I show to be seen,

Loneliness alone follows me,

Loneliness alone frightens me,

There's too many thoughts running through my head,

There's too many voices for me to go to bed,

I'm finally getting somewhat better,

I'm finally getting to see the light,

Yer it's barely there,

Yet darkness threatens to strip me bare,

Pain without love,

Pain is what is to come,

Save me from myself,

Save me from the stealth,

Put me in a cage and throw away the key,

Put me in a box and leave me be,

Son't let me end up alone,

Keep me from being drowned.
