Though the rain falls
\nUpon this autumn night
\nI sleep with hunger in my gut
\nTeeth unbrushed, books stacked shut
\nI look to the lights that line the walls of the room I never leave
\nA peace too quiet for my mind too keep
\nI steel myself away for another slumber
\nFighting thoughts of the people I must have murdered in passing
\nSifting through the memories of dead selves, losing feeling in my body
\nAnother batch of cells sectioned off away from me<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t like pictures
\nThey\u2019re what I want to be
\nMy friends take better ones of them, and they smile naturally
\nIf they\u2019re so happy
\nAnd I\u2019m so me
\nI struggle to wonder just what God made me to be
\nTouch of malice
\nTouch of stone
\nTouch of genius to consider all that I
\nwill never know
\nI feel myself learn how to crawl on back to bed
\nReflecting on a memory
\nI used to read a book instead
\nWhen it rained late so heavy
\nNow my frightened mind needs distraction from the pain
\nI know the symptoms of modern man
\nAll too well
\nI don\u2019t want to die like him
\nBut there\u2019s no life to live in Hell
\nIs this to be my home
\nLonely but not alone
\nA life yet lived inside of me that I will never know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
