A Poem by Riley Bray
"

"
I want to mean something
Feel I have a place in this hollow world that I've come to know.
I want feel like everything that is truly real.
I want to know what love is.
I want to know what pain is.
I want to know what hate is.
I want to know what a friend feels like
Because I've lost myself somewhere along the way.

I'm standing in forgotten misery
No place left for me to go to know
What a feeling feels like.

I've lost myself again.
I've lost my hope again.
And there's no reason to fake it
I'm giving in.

One razor should be enough,
Cut where they won't see
Maybe my flesh will burn
From the candle on my worthless skin
I'm finally giving in again.

I want to mean something
I want to know what love is.
I want to feel like everything can go back to the way it used to be.
'Cause I want to mean something...
I want to remember what it feels like to feel.
I'm not in touch with this world anymore
Clinging to the woman that I used to be
The naive version of me.

What is love?
What does it mean?
Is it strong enough to make me seem whole again?

I've lost myself once more.
I'm gone for good this time
I was sure that the happiness
Was always temporary.

It's coming back and I've no strength left
So I'll fade away dying with addiction in my veins,
Bloody mutilation on my hips and inner thighs,
Staring up at a ceiling, a dagger in my disgusting heart
And I'll breath my last, and it's exhilarating.

I feel it in me

I'll be dying slowly

But I know what love feels like.

I'm
