Suffocate

Tell me that you can’t look me in the face

wait another day and turn your back away

yell at me that I’m not worth it you won’t give me a chance

tell me that I’m just plain, how much it aches

 

For what it’s all worth I’ll let it all burn

my stomach turns as my life gets hurled

my skin peels as I reach for another turn

another lessoned learned in this life I don’t deserve

and I’ll laugh as it all burns away

 

The ashes fly in the sky like snow

it’s not cold, I set this world on fire

don’t look me in the eyes there filled with smoke

it’s to my desires and to you I’ll never get to hold

never can I get higher when I fly with my soul

 

You turned your back away and I can’t wait another day

the pain won’t go away I wish that I would just suffocate

I can’t find the words to say I don’t want to sound fake

I won’t go through this another day it’s something that I can’t take

there’s some things that you just can’t save or change

 

Put me up on the cross make me feel so lost

haven’t I been through enough I’ve shed so much blood

tearing me to pieces and take all that I believe

I try to come up for air but I don’t think you even care

I guess your unaware that I made this world bare

I hope I opened your eyes to this world that I set on fire

A man whose been throgh so much, that he thinks he deserves more punishmeant, wishes for pain and destruction so he can be free of the dissapointment. Thats how I interpestted this dark, interesting piece of work. I needed to re-read it to get a better understanding of the concept. Very nice idea for a poem:)
God Bless

I feel as though I can almost relate to this in a strange way, not completely in the same aspects though. a different kind of pain most definitely, but a pain all the same. Sometimes destruction and punishment happen to the people who least deserve it. It's like you're trying to get it out in the open and stop living a life filled with all that's horrid. nicely written
