Cursed

Folder: 
1. Blameless Ennui

Doomed to walk this Earth

  Live among these people

Accept their painful words

          Cursed

   Trapped in this body

With no defense

  Except to retreat into oneself

To let the mind take control

    Go into autopilot

  My life is not my own

Cursed

  To run a thousand miles

But never move

     To gaze into life

   And see nothing

          Cursed

To live with Death following

Close behind and never seen ahead

     Life all around

          But nobody is living

     Cursed

To be the only one to understand

Cursed

     When I was born

          To be me

ok. I LOVE the spacing. makes it very chaotic. I think this one is about your family life. Alot about how steve mistreated you. and having to withdrawl into yourself...and some about how you were repressed. Having to be the housecleaner and the paper folder and never having your own opinion without being chastised for it. But in case you havent noticed, youre not cursed, this life has taught you perserverence and strength in the face of adversity. And youre the better off for it, in that you know where youre going, and that your children will never suffer the same as you.
