Life Isnt Good

Unfair treatment at the hands of a boss 
Power mad, slanderous causing me loss 
Invalidated, worthless and lost, 
Friends disregarding never giving a toss 

Walking alone with no purpose or value 
stuck in a zone where there’s no me and you 
an individual lost, pointless confused 
Never awarded rewards always feeling used 

No one cared now neither do I 
Life is unfair and then you die 
Down at rock bottom living life 
Treated rotten through selfish lies

All at the hands of the bitter and jealous 
Going against me in all that develops 
And Telling their lies to all other fellows 
Those thoughtless folk who only follow

Now numb and removed with no desire 
Spent all my effort now there’s no more 
I can’t find a spark an ember or fire 
Psychological warfare I’ve had to endure

Never give up and one day it will change 
Why are humans so selfish and strange 
Already got me then discredit my claims 
Death follows life with nothing that pains 

I’ve lived defeated while others succeed 
They beat me down in my hour of need 
I helped them out pulled them back to feet 
Death follows life and I bet it’s more sweet 

Living a life where you do not belong 
Without a worth and you’re not strong 
When you’re not interested in carrying on
It matters as much as it will when I’m gone

Release Me

RELEASE ME

I was cursed by some old witch
Saying, ‘Life’s a  and then you die’
Now tell me why, be honest please
Just don’t tease, share the cold facts
She left no tracks and disappeared
It is weird, but I must understand
This was not planned, I don’t think
Now on the brink of a strange spell
I’m scared as hell, and taken aback
What I now lack is an explanation
An aberration of some natural law
Tell it raw, with no weasel words
There may be nerds who can explain
Once again, rid me of this curse
Recite some verse or wave a wand
It is beyond most people’s skills
Clouded hills are what I now see
So pity me, as I may be doomed
We all assumed it was a blessing
But messing with me was her intent
I do resent such an evil imposition
My vision is already fading fast
At last, can someone apply a fix
No more tricks, just release me

Premium Member Nothing Is Forever

An individual's death is as unique as the life which preceded it,
but the way the body shuts down is always the same process.
When your brain has determined that there is something fatally wrong,
your brain then shuts down all but your body's most important life giving functions
and focuses on repairing the damage proving life threatening.
Once your brain has determined that there isn't anything more that it can do
to save the life which is very rapidly going to be through,
your brain then performs its final and most important of life giving functions.
It kicks into overdrive manufacturing and re manufacturing 
excess quantities of dopamine.
Within seconds dopamine is completely, totally flooding your system.
Any sensation of pain, fear or any other negative emotion
are all completely and totally alien.
You have reached the highest state of euphoria that you have ever experienced.
You have attained your after life. You have entered your heaven,
and then you die, bringing to an end your life's total existence.
What follows is a place of complete nothingness.
This is the place where Nothing truly exists.
No time, no matter, no consciousness,
except that perhaps your final moment of eternal bliss
is now the only entity in existence in this abyss of nothingness,
and nothing is forever, 
and so forever in your heaven forever will be this.

Graveyard

The graveyard opens the door's to the walkway,
But only to me,
Take slow breathes and count to three,
Now i open my eyes ,
I see what cannot be lies.
Upon the grave is my name,
As if i opened the door and death came.
I lay in the grave motionless as ever,
My mind is quiet clever,
This has to be a dream,
It must not be,
Laying in the coffin cannot be me!!!
My screams to anyone cannot be herd,
Not even the tiniest word,
From my mouth come's out a small choked up cry,
Life passes fast and then you die.
This is a dream,
I scream!!!
It is not what it seems,
The dream thrashes,
For it has turned to ashes.
I wake up,
Scared as ever
My mind can be quiet so clever,
I see i am still in the coffin,
I yell for help!
But all i can hear is a helpless yelp.
