Routine Torture
Joshua L. Holmes 1986 (u)
Your fucking ignorance is killing me,
you think its just a game.
You have your fun at my expence,
while i silently live with this pain.
If tonight i died, just closed my eyes,
would you feel my blood on your hands?
inside i silently scream for help,
but my voice may never again be heard.
I pray this pain never falls on you,
this unending torment passes you by.
Think of your future, move on with your life,
while i silently lay here and die.
I hope you fulfill your every dream,
never feel an ounce of discomfort,
Nothing but peace i wish your way,
for your peace my existence i would forfeit.
Years of anguish have left their scars,
is death the only escape from my hell?
Someday i may heal, or i may not,
only time will tell.
Silently i remain in my shell.
