beaten down

by Twan - Aries

i'm lying in an alley near death and the sound is about to cloud
darkness hanging over me like a shroud 
they beat and kicked me and screamed those bad words
i don't understand anymore (now i'm bleeding from the inside)
i'm trying not to think how so many others felt before they
died
i'm lost in a miasma of agony and a world of pain
its hot and it tastes like blood, this rain
you take away this agony as i have lain
they stomped me and screamed that i was a fag then one stomped me in the stomach and my head began to drag
and i felt the light shine upon me i thought it was a cop
instead i felt myself and my dilated eyes began to hop
i had felt before they left the savage twist of a knife
then my eyes closed and i slid into the afterlife.

Reason for writing:

    fear
