The Brittle Shells I Walk On

by Nick 198   Jul 8, 2005


As I shed tears that never seem to go away
My life becomes full of shadows
And the tame sky becomes shallow
I am blown away by misery
Of the days to come
I am blindsided by the hatred
That builds up in the earth
I am shaken by the sorrow
Of war death and crime
I am as sour as a lime

I cry myself to sleep at night
Only wondering why
Everything in life has to die
My friends my family
And everything else know to man
Why cant everything live
And never turn to sand

Why cant we enjoy life
To the full extent
Why cant we live life
Without a bottomless grant
Why cant we believe in life
And never be brainwashed by religion
Why cant we mistake life
As something great instead of a given

I am taken by the wrong path
Only to see myself burnt into ash
I am spread among the forest
To be blown away at night
But in the end I am scared to go away
Because i don't look forward to my days to come
