Landmine

Landmine The struggle I face Living life at a high pace Fading faster without a trace Falling from grace Last place The void within Has me loving the sin The story of my life where do I begin The downfall hard to explain Sustain the wall before they crumble In vain I stumble at the mess that was me I bleed slowly Pouring out my soul Half the man you may have known Future bleak While my heart gently weeps As this pill slowly creeps in The haze I blaze these words to showcase The phase I am in Eggshell walking Stepping on cracks breaking backs The penny tossed in the wishing well Tossed back A return to sender note attached Outcome hatched No match for the things to come Relief is needed The torture of your ways Destroys what is left Of the man who pens theses words Cutting through like sword in battle My mind is rattled Answers I search I can not find Standing on life’s landmine BOOM Its over!
