Half Alive
To die
But yet still live
To burn in white-hot flames
But with no mark on the cheek
The physical evidence indifferent
You don’t know
What’s floating in my head
The urge to just die
Hits me everyday
With a force as overpowering
As the ocean waves
With tormented eyes
And a knockout glare
Who wants to live
Like there’s nothing to live for
Who wants to live
Like the world’s devoid of life
With the fact
That everything is fragile
And permanent means nothing in this world
Constantly
Pounding
On their brains
When the only thing
You have
Is your
Intellect level
Suddenly your world
Doesn’t seem so easy
When you’ve loved so little
And lost so much
The world around you
Looks so different
Emotionless
Would be a gift from above
When pieces are all that’s left of you
Nobody tries
Wants
To understand
And then they wonder why
A punch stuns them in midair
Who wants to live
Like they’re half alive?
