Reality...

in the bitter cold of the night i shiver from head to toe

the burn of the chill paralizes me to the bone

i wrap myself in layers of guilt and self pity

choking on hatred and vengence

spitting up jealousy and revenge

im stuck in between not knowing and knowing too much

i marinate my thoughts in chunky pieces of regret

swallow it down with disappointment 

my arterys are clogged with lies and betrayel

im loosing feeling in all my limbs due to constant irritation and pain

my environment is corrupted with non stop aggravation

love has a mind of its own

dreaming is where im safe

friends are becoming loose ends

i place sanctions on my feelings

               i am no longer free
