The Flowers Have Died

I realize now that flowers will always wilt and die

In this place, I no longer posess the will to try

My skull tightens with unbearable pain

It's like a knife cutting through the brain

Myself, you have managed to break in two

Everything you gave, seems to be untrue

But there isn't anything I can say

I know this mental state can never be okay

I could inject drugs to ease away this dread

But then I'd be like you and I'd rather die instead

No I don't want medicated relief, can't be like the rest

No longer will I stand subject to your judgemental tests

Still, I am a disgrace to everything I know

A puppet tied to strings, I dance in this horrible show

Hope, it seems to elude me still

All the way at the bottom, I cannot see the top of this hill

God always told me I'd never be in his plan

While the devil speaks in riddles I will never understand

So then I ask myself why was I created, what am I for?

God has cured nothing, he uses all like whores

Posted by Pilgrim 2008-09-05 13:39:15 .... Good flow, and good rhyme. I can feel where you're coming from. Hey, I remember when they threw me in a crazy home when I was seventeen and filled me with all kinds of candy, well, at least they said it was candy. Anyway, the cartoons were good. Good job. + Report this comment
