kicking and screaming
swaying in resignation
the requiem keeps repeating
bound by time and born to die unsatisfied
the numbing void that fills humanity
is killing me inside
drown it out, force it down
lie myself through one more day
feeling like a stranger to all I loved
like a drone in endless seasons
never knowing why and never told the reasons
spread my arms, face towards the sky
with splinters in my fingers and fury in my eyes
screaming "is this what you wanted?"
I can't make peace with this ghost
