Hatching the Dead

Hatching the Dead Blocking out unopened space this prison in my head Crawling all up inside of me laying eggs to hatch the dead The silent stillness reminding me that I must be all alone An inferno burns inside where only the Devil feels at home No safety signs flash warnings, stop this bleeding in my mind Relaxing is just a broken dream my nightmares can never find Don't say things will get better, false hope only breeds hate Learn to accept suffering instead of fist fighting your own fate With these lessons the student fails, their are no passing grades Don't watch, think about, or remember me, my impression always fades Just in case you were wondering I'm not scared but I am afraid Dead gone the exhausted me, living with death in different shades Written for contest "Basic Rhyming Words" Hosted by: IrONic ZiNk 05/21/17 WON 1st PLACE IN CONTEST RESULTS
