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
