Trying

I always fight
just too lazy to run
always scream
when the silence is too taut
always laugh
while the sombre bow their heads
smile while another dagger enters my breast
refuse to die
by not living
taking my time
in lengths only i can see
all my friends have turned to fiends
all my loves now but dust
immortal in my life
punished to never die
controlled by the i and the must
