What Does It Mean To Suffer
Agony that never seems to end
Can’t find where one nightmare stops
And the other begins
The face in the mirror one I do not know
So hollow inside, seamlessly cold
Wracked with tears in a heap I lie
Hopelessly broken, lost, beyond tried
Barely surviving each second for breath
After all what’s the point, I feel nothing is left
Too blackened my sky to see the sun
All that held this simple soul
Has completely come undone
You ask what does it mean to suffer
I ask what does it mean to be free
Life doesn’t offer a buffer
To this damn wretched misery
