Orphan Separate From the World

The umbilical chord connected to the world Has now been severed I'm an unwanted orphan clinging on to live By my finger tips I'm so weary and tired of beiing alone I know I'll soon lose my grip' Living life in free fall Speeding up before I hit the ground A useless pile of flesh and bones Void of all remains of happiness and reason To be me a life I never chose alone. I only see the world through monochrome eyes No colour do I no longer see The world is in so much mess Just like the life of me. Cursed at birth my face rubbed in the dirt The kid brainwashed beaten full of fear and lost And so full of damn hurt Let down again and again Rejection my middle name No one understands and a beast evey one hates But can never tame. So here I stand on the edge of the preferface Swaying back and forth in the wind Staring at the dark inviting deep chasm below Knowing no one can or wants to rescue me And ready to let go For sadness is all I know.

Hi Pete...this is brutality in place of morality, a world full of superficiality and no place for authenticity...the pain in this piece cuts too deep...rgds, 7habang
