Nothing

How do I say
How I feel inside?

Inside I feel numb, Nothing is there too,
I try to feel something, be it with cigarettes or booze
Neither helps, though I try
I can never reach that goddamn high

I’ve made it clear
To those I love
That I wish to be six feet below
Instead of above

Feeling is difficult
When you feel Nothing
Sometimes, even the strongest emotions 
Are pain and suffering

It’s all part of my illness
So they’ve told me
But that doesn’t change the fact
That I feel like I’m drowning

Pull me out
Before it’s too late….

It’s already settled, I’m doomed to my fate

Nothing has taken me, deep within its static grasp

I knew that I was never meant to last.
