Live a life
A life of lies
Open your eyes
All hope dies
Fake it, fake it
Maybe you’ll make it
Hoping for the end to come
Waiting in a never ending hum
Blurring by is a life of change
But change is risky, you mind deranged
Run until light is dead
Run until your feet are lead
Run until your life has bled
Run until your feet are red
Run run, never stop
A cliff in view
No time to stop
Tumble over, over the edge
Ponder death
Await breath
Blackness is what you have met
The mind is dead the body broken
The plot was set
Fate has spoken

This one is pretty depressing...sorry about that. I am struggling with some things right now and this was my expression. If you get anything from this, talk to me please. :)
