Nothing Hurts
each line i draw
an elixir to my suffering
being safe is a bore
i give up on recovering
my life, my hopes, my dreams
nothing left to gain
another day not clean
numbing all the pain
this laborious cycle of hurt
life dictated by a number
and my future in the dirt
when i retire to endless slumber
nothing hurts anymore
the hollow labyrinth of my mind
envelops me with every word
and though i’m trying hard to find
a place where my voice is heard
i know my friends are worried
but i couldn’t care less
doctors abstract words, hurried
i just need to get it off my chest
i can’t do this
fighting everyday
no i can’t do this
there must be another way
so nothing hurts anymore
