breakdown

by falcon - Not entered

everyday another misfortune follows
far outweighing whatever bits of joy
become stranded in my cold world
the storm gathers above, threatening to destroy

it is as if i exist in another dimension
seperated from these people by a wall of time
to them i am an outcast, an alien, a prisoner
locked in iron bars until the bell tolls its farewell chime

my insanity has lashed out beyond control
it is time to stopand listen to their deadly song
the flame that burned in me is smothered
everything i ever thought was wrong

my lips betray all and cry out their conformist call
i am drowning in the hopelessness of life
one final flicker of light as i pull the trigger
a silent bang that ends all strife

Reason for writing:

    I can feel myself bending and breaking to conformity.  i fear i am forsaking my beliefs and myself as i give in to what they want.  but then i will not be alive anyway.  i'm dying.
