Lifeless
i hate me for being here
lost and empty, sacrificing myself
bitter and twisted, so lonely
i want to take part in
love and energy, pleasantly graceful
a female sovereign, if only
i am not devoted to life
hated and beaten, losing myself
wasting and falling, i'm seething
mind of disruption
cruel and shadowed, arid desert
choking and dying, still grieving
my thoughts are unpleasant
pity and sorrow gradually fading
crippled and jaded, so unwilling
my mind is just ashes
buried and bleeding, i am cursed
past and present, so chilling
please let me go
leave and expel, forcing myself
rejecting all that is real
rewind to nicer things
when and where?, no memory
lifeless, i cannot feel
