PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i am the spectator, from outside nothing seems to matter

it’s not like it makes any difference, seeing it all from the other side

to watch the flames rise slowly surrounding, then run and hide



these days, they’re burning it all away, every glint of hope

turning us all into what we hate the most

all i need now, is to believe in your one last lie

to depart from this disguise for a sacrifice

to make it all hell, cast it all down for dead

just break it up, and force it down through my head

i only know the words you’ve never said



i refuse to live within your walls anymore

it’s so hard to believe that everything is still alive

when everyone here has been declared dead



don’t tell me who to be, don’t tell me what to see

i’m breaking up this clouded mask

maybe i’ll finally see and wake up from this dream



i’ve lived in this cage long enough to forget who i really am

pent up with this rage long enough to forget the reason why

what will it take to break me away?



you’ve led me down this path

now it’s time to destroy every trace of it behind me

maybe now i can be there for myself like you never were

maybe now i can finally live at last
