I'm awake every day
I can see my surroundings
I float away
And need something to ground me
I know many people
And hear their words
I see them laugh, cry
And curse this world
I see the blue sky
And the deep sea
The bright sunshine
Even as it blinds me
I hear the thunder and the rain
And find it beautiful
But the world is full of people
So everything is sinful
I see the birds
And the blossom on trees
Creeping crawling spiders
Stinging wasps and bees
I see the blood on the floor
And bleach in the sink
I smell the chemicals in the air
And I stop to think
I see the homeless people
And putrid death
Decaying love
And the hate that's left
I can feel the hatred
And I can sense the love
I can hear the monster
As it plays in my guts
Now that it's dark
I can see
So stop
And set me free...
