Only Me

Sleeping as I awake Falling as I climb Dreaming in my present state The future is left behind. If death is a sweet release And life is all a lie Why do we all sit in shock As the whole world dies. I cannot accept this prize The finish line I haven’t crossed Laughing at those before me Oh how bad they’ve lost. I do not care to speak My words so eloquently betray All that I love and seek Is rotting in decay. I am only one girl Yet my army rises high Fall and pray to a deaf god As you choke and cry.
