Crying a lot more
Randomly driving home
Slinking away from people
Maybe it’s constantly being alone
Echoes being my welcome
A pillow to hold onto through night
Maybe it’s all the regrets
Lives that I pretended
Loves that I rejected
Maybe it’s the multiverse
Showing me how it could have been
Infinite possibilities now impossible to me
Maybe it’s traversing the wrong road
Calling in blockades down the path
Setting up traps to misdirect
Maybe it’s just my destiny
To show how horrible things can end up
How the man in public hides secret pain
Maybe I don’t matter
Begging for ears to listen
Bellowing madness to the dark
Pleases to whys to denials
Chasing the paces to disgraces
Misstepping placating promises
Coronating the confection through…
…rhymes?
What am I saying?
Attempting beauty from disaster
Mercy to the failed angels
Those who looked but couldn’t help
Maddening cruise off the cliff
I wished for a halo
A peace to rub my shoulders
Soft whispers beaming love
Sedate the anxiety before awaking
I received damnation
A riot to punch me in the face
Harsh screams crusading through blood
Adrenaline panic after stumbling
So many streams leading to one place
Why is this journey so difficult?
