Can I Get An E
explanations of life's complexity seem more like
eager delusions designed to keep us tame, all my
energy is sucked out of my soul as I try to hold on
explosive emotions can't just be willed away
exploring of all my flaws, and damage that weight on me
eternity seems well, quite daunting.
exhaling long breaths as I scramble to stay calm
excising demons, evil parasites, mental agony and takes all of
energy leaving little left to with the
exigent circumstances of life
enhanced by loneliness and longing
eat away at what little remains of my vitality
each day chips at my hopes, dreams, reasons to go on
existence is constant, and time stops for no one.
each dawn I awake and dread the day to come
"exacts steps are not marked. Just keep walking!" I command myself
elongated by perception moment's feel like years.
eerie shadows and screaming whispers of afterthoughts and doubt
echo through my being swarming my mind in perpetual discordance
evening comes to me like a warm loving embrace
eagerly awaiting sleeps oblivion as a respite from the difficulty of day
entertaining synapses collide without fail
enticing thoughts of suicide as I try to fight for sleep
exhaustion creeping up and lingering no matter how much rest
endlessly I search for some meaning to maintain all the
effort and toil it takes to go on living. the fact is
etched into my soul is the promise I made to you to keep going
elusive as happiness seems, I gave my word I would be strong
essentially, I'm just living in hopes your looking down on me
eyes full of understanding and love that I fear I will never again see.
