Zyx We'Ve Gathered Here Today

Zenith achieved
Yielding to no one 
Xcept, my cracks are beginning to show
White is a lie of a color to wear
Vestigial hope lingers 
Until the deeds are signed
This is my funeral I must attend with a smile
Shaky hands, sweaty forehead
Ringing bells signifying tragedy 
Quenched is my thirst for pain
Passed is the time for indecision 
Only forward toward death 
Nameless, faceless shapes
Marching between them 
Linked to the broker that means to sell me
Keeping in cheerful step to the incinerator 
Jaunting to be completely destroyed
I am not the face I wear 
Hindsight is haunting 
Glamorous, isn't it? 
Formidable, aren't I?
Everything I want comes to my feet
Desire, however, is a cage 
Change is not an option
But only happiness 
Always
