Fake

Folder: 
1. Blameless Ennui

stripped of all that is important

everything has gone away

existance has become a chore

stealing my life each day

one by one

my silent tears fall

draining me of emotion

'till I have none left at all

turning off all reactions

nothing can affect me

my life has no meaning

yet one feeling slipped free

this one still remains

haunting me day and night

I knew if I take my life

it would not be right

passing over into the dark

leaves all those behind

how would they feel

it tortures my mind

this life is not my own

to give or to take

I live for those who care

though my life is now a fake
