Burn like me

The colors of life have all run together creating a darkness, becoming a void. Attaching its self to and slowly removing every moment in life I've ever enjoyed. I stop to smell the flowers. Only to find them left wilted by the heat. So i walk away unfulfilled, crushing thier brittle stems beneath my feet. Forevermore the reason i turned my back and walked away. **** regret and sorrow, even if there's hell to pay! Im sick and tired of waiting while everything else remains the same, and what have i to show for patience, but misery and pain? Im sick of this endless struggle. Im tired of holding back. I refuse to turn the other cheek, just to have it smacked. Don't shrug it off, tear it down. Let nothing stand in your way. Justification and reason both fall as you do and together the three of you may lay. Ive grown cold like the world around me. I held a fire but its died. To keep me company in the darkness i hold on to hate and pride. I fight no more this loosing battle, I'll accept my fate. Love elludes my grasp and i no longer care to wait. There is no lesson to be learned, no grand prize to be won in the end. Life is nothing more than time, regardless of how its spent. **** this world i want nothing from it, on the contrary i want far from it. I have nothing left to give it either, its already taken the best of me. **** this world and the people in it, let them have it and slowly kill it. I wont try to stop them either, its already done far worse to me. I can no longer just grin and bare it, my patience is gone and heart gone with it. I wont try to find them either, they were the last of me. There once was a time i would try to save it. But that time has long passed, now i blame it. I wont look back and mourn its passing either. Not a single tear shall be shed by me. Im just glad i didnt create it. Oh how much more would i loath and hate it? I wouldn't let the sands of time forgive it either. The eternal flames of hell would BURN... LIKE ME!
