Hate Myself
infront of the mirror i see a man tangled in his own stupidity
a man who's mind lacks necessities in developing stabilty
confused, he blankly gazes for days on end
waiting for a sign to prove that he's not dead
after a lengthy period of reflection and solitude
he becomes aware of the cracks he's falling through
he measures the depth of every step he fell down
the realization strikes him.. his path is hell bound
he prays, meditates, begs and cries for guidance
but is only greeted with the painful eyes of silence
with nowhere to go he is forgotten by time
in a never ending labrynth, lost in his mind
how could he let himself slip to this devistation?
he ignored the vapors of his life and now he smells the frargence
it isn't pleasant.. it's bitter and putrid
with a new sense of wisdom he attempts to remove it
unfortunatelly, his past counteracts his present
and he sobs from below peering at the gates of heaven
