the greatest pain of all

the greatest pain of all

A Poem by Jb

used again,
but you're still numb
abused again,
but you're still numb
a drone with smeared makeup,
you don't feel their touch
you're just a f*****g slave, 
who's shut down too much
you fall asleep blank, 
as your heart shatters
but you don't feel a thing, 
since nothing matters
since you'll wake up to your bottles,
and start the new day
swallowing pills of rainbows, 
that will lead you astray
astray to the gluttony, 
astray to failure
the failure that forces you sick,
so that you can be pure
but you still don't feel it,
so you waltz to the mirror
and punch out the image,
because nothing's really here
nothing was ever there,
because every thing's  empty
every thing's dying,
or dead already
but there's no use in thinking,
because thoughts a have no value
they're just  wasted efforts,
 a waste of time like you
but there's no hard feelings,
no sorrow at all
because you're always stumbling,
never feeling the fall
and now you're really falling,
slashing your wrists
slicing through veins, 
until nothing exists
because you're still so numb,
but soon you'll be happy
because soon it will all end,
and you'll no longer be
so it really is beautiful,
your blood pouring like rain
for never feeling at all,
is the greatest pain

Ahh addiction with their numbing abilities and the full downward spiral of it all.

This is kinda brilliant. Too bad it took me 5 years to find it.
