Misery
Sadness consumes me
it eats me alive
Like a knife
slicing my skin
ripping my flesh
apart
The sharp tip
stabs at my
heart
and
I
bleed
misery
I claw at my
skin
trying to rip
the scars off
Sometimes
it hurts
Sometimes
I'm numb
some days
I'm as high
as a kite
and others
I cry
Trapped
inside a
hollow grave
Darkness
smothers
me..
I scream
for help
but no one hears
or sees my tears
cause its in
my head
where misery
resides
besides
who would
actually
care?
