It's Been A Good Life.A Poem by realmwriter
Filter out the sanity.
Keep it in your vanity.
Filter out the sin inside.
Kill in that place you hide.
Devastate the cage of rage.
Burn it up and let it sage.
Deviate from your routine.
Burn it in the in between.
You've shed your blood on broken wings.
Been their puppet and pulled their strings.
You've cried your tears and lost your years.
You've been yourself through all your fears.
Now you see yourself for the first time.
It's been a good life, so sublime.
Break the glass and watch it crack.
Plan the future, break your back.
Back to the beginning, you've reached the end.
Your rope is burning, you can't pretend.
Turn around to walk away.
Your past is gone, you cannot stay.
Broken pieces, shattered dreams.
Torn apart, you've split your seems.
You've shed your blood on broken wings.
Been their puppet and pulled their strings.
You've cried your tears and lost your years.
You've been yourself through all your fears.
Now you see yourself for the first time.
It's been a good life, so sublime.
Cancer crawling from the wood.
Deep inside there's no more good.
Rotten to the filthy core.
You don't want to live no more.
No more pain, your sorrows spent.
Naivety has came and went.
Apologetic look in eyes.
See it coming, your demise.
You've shed your blood on broken wings.
Been their puppet and pulled their strings.
You've cried your tears and lost your years.
You've been yourself through all your fears.
Now you see yourself for the first time.
It's been a good life, so sublime.
You're ignorant of your vanity.
Your beauty faded, you cannot see.
Guided by your ignorance.
You're a product of your brilliance.
Lucid in your cloud of smoke.
Life is yours, you've blown the joke.'
Social ladder, climbed to high.
Falling faster, slow to die.
You've shed your blood on broken wings.
Been their puppet and pulled their strings.
You've cried your tears and lost your years.
You've been yourself through all your fears.
Now you see yourself for the first time.
It's been a good life, so sublime.
