Death's Rhyme

Lay me to sleep, I don't wish to see.
You have my heart to keep, but why hold onto me.
Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all.
No one will care, as they hear my silent call.
There are no reasons, to find the missing frames.
Feel the death of seasons, and the humbled shames.
You drink my war, yet I still die.
My heart already tore, I just ask, "Why"?
Lay down your head, upon my chest.
Believe every word I've said, about trying to be the best.
Put on your mask, and lets begin.
Killing life's task, once again.
Still I ask, why is my heart broken?
There are no flowers, no not this time.
Depression towers, high above death's rhyme.
I feel the knife bite, I'm so scarred.
I put up no fight, it's not so hard.
We try to turn it around, is it to late?
As I hit the ground, onto this world I unleash hate.
Another rhyme and riddle, another extermination.
In this life I'm so little, I've lost all determination.
Life is a scam, it's only a genocide.
No one really gives a damn, they have already died.
Do not bow your head and weep, though the pain is so deep.

Steven very interesting point of view regarding life and death - Sometimes I guess things get pretty twisted - Many people wear mask and often the mask takes takes control - Stay Strong - God Bless
