Being Open

Speaking no evil with nothing to say
Feel no pain life is numb
Prayers to smite thine enemies
Wanting to believe something just to belong
Being open to any idea but always the skeptic inside
Doubt everything for losing all you remember
Listen and journey to become
Never able to reach it
Tangle is the truth
Soothing lies
Belong
Apart from living
Dead inside
Take it to reach that high
Feel good
Joy
  empty
   crashing
     down down down
Cold, spent and lonely
Abused body with a vacant soul
Eyes of beaded glass
Veins discolored
Tasteless is life
   Shelter in a sewer for warmth
Life mingles with death eases into comfort
Why?  are you more than this?
Rock bottom in a hell hole of survival
Pray for the first time you really pray
Asking for meaning, deliverance
No answers only questions
Frozen solid into darkness
Sleep deep sleep
Open your eyes
Brightness surrounds all
Floating into the light
Feeling forever
Can't be any worse
Being open...
