Brian Davey Poet Couplet

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
