Wasteland
Dump bleach into my eyes
Wash away this desert wasteland of what
Once used to be hope, but is now only
Dried up tears and endless mistakes;
Bloody white scars and teary skies;
Scorching sunlight to blind progression;
Grains of sand that fragment old memories;
Only the painful ones stay solid.
What once flowed like the Nile after a miracle,
Is now drier than the Death Valley in August.
What once bloomed like lilacs after a deadly storm,
Is now more rotted than a corpse in a graveard.
What once lit up sad days of mine with spectrums of colors,
is not pitch black and plaguing the better times with hell;
Telling me it won't be a prettier day.
From there sprout little demons:
Pointing out the little joys and erasing them,
Covering my mouth when I scream for sunlight again;
Breaking my wrists when I reach out for someway to see where in hell I'm going;
Tripping me again and again when I make a move;
Laughing in my face when I try to talk to another;
Ripping my soul to shreds and calling me
lazy, stupid, ugly, rude rude rude rude rude rude rude;
Nothing to see here but a mistake.
