So many faces
Each contorted in mocking ridicule
They do not understand
How could they
Know the torment
Of an empty soul?
Yet still they surround me,
Fill my every glance
With ignorant scorn.
They will never know.
I want nothing more
Than to kill this pain,
Make this curs’d world go away.
Doctors claim to cure this thing
That they possess miracle drugs
Yet mountains of pills
Cannot save me.
Each one they attempt
Will be “the one” to help
Until it fails
And lets me down,
Just like this forsaken world
And my mother’s hollow eyes.
I cling to someone whom I trust
When we make contact,
They crumble to dust.
All is dead here
And I am too
Ignorant zombies paralyzed by disdain
For me.
Damn this “disease”
And the doctors’ drugs
They cannot kill it
I have fallen.
Yet another victim of society.
