Dying Inside. . .
I look at the bare walls and contrast my life
The cracks tell a story of disruption and strife
The smoothened plaster belies the coldness of cement
The rich hues I see all try to placate ruined descent
I see whitened parts that stop the dampness entering
The gaps I see all make for circulatory venting
Alas I fear the torrents come tumbling
Yield I say for my self worth is leaving
Cold and aloof I pray for my time
Promises made all tumble in lies
Distrust, hypocrisy all cloud my altruistic vision
I knew not then what I know now this instant
I feel I am dying inside in this gyre handmade
So untrue is this world so unfortunate and fake
