Carpe Diem

you cant help but feel to failure,
presence of nothingness fills your heart,
 your subconscious mind turns into your enemy,
and the heart you stitched together has fallen back apart
your head is filled with memories, in which stab your present thought,
The smile on your face is artificial,
while the pain in your heart remains sought
stuck in this state of mind, its hard to let it go
you get high to seize the day, because on ground level, 
your stuck at a low

When you are stuck in the dark for so long it is hard to see that light. A great flowing well written piece.
