Feel like the flame
Flame of existence
The force that keeps us alive
Soon to be extinguished

Forced to conform
Sitting in silence
The silent screams
The intense suffering

Green with envy
Blue with breathlessness
Hurting in a private existence
Wishing things were different

Insomnia creeps
Slowly beckoning those that will heed the call
Sleep becomes a nightmare
Awake becomes a pain

Wishing to be elsewhere
Woeful of the past
Thinking in convulsions
Waiting for the day

Musing other everyday equations
Wishing the past was gone
But wishing parts were back
Stuck in the middle
Pain beholds those willing to suffer

Let go of your future
Release your past
Focus on the present
Make everything count

Cowering
Getting lower
Slowly drowning
Slowly losing grip

Intensify reality
Immerse in the vibe
Aim low
So as never to fail

Stay hidden
Don’t even breathe
