Tired



At the end of the day,
I am tired,
Tired of being a clown
With destructive frown
 Living in a haunted town
Always ready to drown

I'm drowning in blood
Blood of my heart
That got carried away in dirt
Dirt that left indelible stains
Stains that will draw me to flames
Falling apart in my own misery
Drifting away in my own psyche
Heard a voice that said,
“Crave for mercy my child
Only then you can survive”

I know the sun was shining bright,
But it all hits at night,
Then I let my demons bite
As they are right by my side

 You feel them everywhere,
Taking control over you,
You feel those whispers,
Wheezing through your soul,
You feel those hands
Crushing your spine
You feel those twisted nails,
Scratching your eyes
You feel that blood,
Pouring side by side
Yet u do nothing but endure it
because honey, that’s your true sight

I was staring at the clone in mirror
That little girl had round eyes dark brown Yearning for not to drown
To her desires was she bound
But those eyes were proud
Proud of pouring life, into a dead pawn.
