Escape

by jac   Aug 24, 2005


I want to die
i want it to rain
i want to cry
my invisible pain
i will not lie
i cant sustain
those lies come out
with nothing to gain
always frowning
never crack a grin
im always drowning
from the pain within
it hurts so much
to hear the truth
but so much more
when im lied to
i want to know
what you're thinking
so i can leave, go
go away from drinking
drinking away my pain
drowning my sorrows
only to go on
onto tomorrow
to live in this angst
is to live in the past
when all of the gangs
always walk past
they hurt the others
they lie all the time
they act like brothers
but are so sublime
so stick to the fact
not to the fiction
consider the truth
and escape a conviction

    I like where this one is going, it seems to change direction somewhere in the middle tho. I really felt the first ten lines or so though. keep it up. x
