Kill me with Disbelief

Here I lay as a shadow before you
Of my former self that has been lost forever
They say that time heals all wounds
But not that it doesn't leave scars

See the person that I have now become
And feel ashamed of the damage you caused
Your disbelief makes me feel numb
I can't even be bothered to convince you

Punish me for being the victim
Damage my soul even more then before
Just another consumer of the system
Keeping my eyes trained low to the floor

Death comes swiftly to us all
But to me it couldn't come sooner
As nails pin me here against the wall
And vultures wait in eager anticipation 

May curses rain upon the heads of those
Who have amplified my sufferings threefold
Your disbelief is what makes me know
To never trust a soul in this life again

So carry on killing me with disbelief
