Circle of Sorrow

This is the road

I never wanted to travel

broken
with nowhere to go

locked inside my emptiness

I see light shining

through holes in my cell

I feel rain on my metal skin
There's a few rivulets of beauty

here and there

but mostly
I'm sad

Black waves of pain

keep washing through me

and won't stop

It's not getting easier

I'm just becoming more numb
 

Pretending not to care

while something inside me dies

being strong

even while I cry

sitting here alone

questioning why I'm alive
