• Why?

    Why is it the world seems to turn slowly?
    The months grow cold and lonely
    Days full of lies and frustration
    Living with constant hesitation

    The hate doesn’t cease
    Only wanting to slay the killer beast
    My emotion is suffocating
    As I sit contemplating

    The storm seems to blow over
    Allowing the sun to shine on green clovers
    This great hole never seems to end
    Where are my friends?

    Why should I tell you where they’re at
    They are always where they sat,
    In my head I suppose is where they’ve been
    Waiting for the end

    For the sun to shine
    Hoping for a love to be mine
    I have only known hate
    So why should we debate

    The great unknown is forever vast
    Waiting for the sun to last
    Longer than the storm
    Feeling the sharpness of the thorn

    Your lies bury deep
    Stay awake at night can’t sleep
    Thoughts over flowing
    Stars ever bright, glowing

    Hot liquid drops sliding
    My face hiding
    Hot and cold mix
    Almost impossible to fix


    Why are there no clear skies?
    My life, living shy
    My heart becoming stone
    Feeling forever alone

    I want to go
    Leave this foe
    Deer caught in headlights
    Waiting for a white knight

    This is all inevitable,
    Living as another variable
    Chain grows tighter,
    Heavier, not lighter

    As the wind blows
    The storm grows close
    The sun, hiding from the fear
    Waiting for me to disappear

    Demon keeps on talking
    The people I grew up with gawking
    I cannot rid myself of the beast
    Only hoping for one final feast

    That too is also why
    I hide and deny
    The true feeling in my heart
    Growing ever hard

    “You are evil,” they would say
    They never would explain.
    This carnival, unexciting
    Hate and lies coinciding

    Nothing left but an empty shell
    This kingdom fell
    I am screaming
    No one is hearing

    This echo of a questionable word
    A screeching bird
    I am not so shy
    As to ask why.
