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...
