Next In Row

Innocence proved only show
Signs all read
Devoured slow

Blindness faked in vivid world
Transparent "mask" upon girl

Lessons learned through history
Prove a lack of mystery
Smiling, they stand in a row
Quicker falls
Each
D
O
M
I
N
O
Dots differ
Number's equal
Movie seen
View now sequel

Requiring a kind of deep
Company chosen
Just can't keep
Passion needy
No supply
Beg for feeding
Be denied

Lustful?
Must be an illusion
Fear assuming such conclusion

In war of pride do not fight
Let falseness live beyond eyesight

Forgive
Yet never forget
Hold not to anger that they don't regret
Smile and curtsy
Bow for your role

Just a back up performer
In another man's show

Keep the line moving
And again; "Next in Row"

Surviving Insanity

I once tried to kill myself.

I wasn’t successful in my attempt, though I don’t think I cared either way at that point. I had reached rock bottom and ambivalence is the only emotion that survives there.
It is said that only the good die young and I have never been good enough for anything.

Thoughts of dying were constant within my abused mind. They occupied my bed, attended every meal and followed my every movement.
I was buried alive and the air that I breathed lasted way too long.

In the moment that could have been my last, I didn’t know the difference between right and wrong. I was crazy. I wasn’t the “hearing voices” kind of crazy though.
