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.
