Abuse

I can’t feel what I’m choosing not to

So why bother getting up

If today is the same as last

My thoughts don’t matter as nothing comes to pass

We all end the same as we began

Night goes to day and comes again

I close my eyes but I don’t sleep

Made-up colors fill my dreams

I can’t swallow it anymore

Loud noises are all I taste

Silence is a forbidden treat

White noise and the sound of falling clouds

We all end the same as we began

Night goes to day and comes again

I close my eyes but I don’t sleep

Made-up colors fill my dreams

Ask me how I’m feeling

Loosely say that I feel fine

Fine means so much more

Just another four-letter word

I want to get away but

I feel like I should stay

In need of an escape

Life and death are one in the same
