lifelines
Walking desperation, chasing humankind
With no vision beyond our nose
Feeling with anger and unwillingness
To never feel the love of one
Yet loud enough to get much needed stares
But not quiet enough to hear sobs
Pushing needles in my brain
For understanding that still remains
Throughout or lives, maybe not alive
But wandering thoughts of the first
I will not subside from breath
Oh wait, I did. Outside the darkness
Is now inside, the hurt is me
The wrong is now right, and death
Is just a product of life.
