I only lived too
Be the one I presumed
Had two legs and a mouth that bleeds
Fulfilling all of their needs
Gnawing, scraping the leaves
Begging to become the trees
My roots would drown too
I only meant to
Pass time with indifference
Now die with significance
Be the wind and the stream
Passing by it may seem
But a body that’s meant to be
Carrying the hope of dead leaves
Carry me to the green
Bare ground and broken trees
Is now all that I can see
They’ve lost all of their leaves
It’s time now it may seem
I can no longer find trees
Sifting dirt through
I was meant to

Why? Oh apathy
How you try to deceive me
No pleasure in my thoughts
Only empathy I forgot
Left burdened and shamed
Take me, leave only pain
I’ll never find you
Try way too late to find truth
And where we lay
I’ll pretend we’re the same
Waiting to find me
Sleeping just seems more frightening
I suffocate
Deep breaths kill me the same
Please silence the voices
That make me so complacent
Why?
