"My Own Fiction"   5 - 27 - 03



I am in a hell of life

Been here now for so long

I've lost sight of the memories

Out of place, yet I feel I belong



I have tried to escape this hell

I have tried to end this night

I have tried to break this spell

But I've lost every battle, every fight



I've given up on the day

When death will take this all away

I've become use to the situation

I am so comfortable with my damnation



Just look into my despairing eyes

And you will see the truth

I have given my heart and tried

Only to be crushed beneath this tooth



The long battle has withered my muscles

Fatigued my every ounce of might

I am dying, despairing, and alone

Surrounded and losing this fight



My heart has kept the flow

Kept up, strong, the beat

But I feel the vigor has drained

And my heart is in defeat



My mind has kept the hope about

Up off of the ground, I've struggled

But it has been a fight for so long

That my mind is at a boggle



All the tries, the hurt, and harm

Have lead me to this place

My body buried six-feet beneath

Covered in eternal solace...
