Asleep On A Black Cloud

read and enjoy :)

Asleep on a black cloud

That drains the life from me

My will to fight is evanescent

Too weak to refuse this misery

 

Yes I may be vain to accept

The deal that’s laid out before my eyes

But I’m tired of being pushed down

By the cold words and dirty lies

 

I’ve been past my breaking point

A thousand times before

The warning signs of crushing inwards are like flashing billboards

But I refuse to continue looking at them anymore

 

My blood, sweat, and tears

Are spilt upon this page

And I know I’m just a little actor

On life’s enormous stage

 

I’m so tired of running

Or fighting a pointless war

I’m treading in frigid waters

I’m terrified to the core

 

Asleep on a black cloud

It’s my only choice

Because without its toxic comfort

I will no longer hold a voice

A Mortan's Fork: having to pick between two evils and this is one of them, be sad or be voiceless . . . Excellent rhymes. ~ BlackCl0ud
