I wish my eyes were shut.
Then I'd have no fears.
Go through life
With no hate or tears.
Or if I were numb,
I'd feel no pain.
Never drowning in shadows,
Or soaking in shame.
Maybe an angel
Feeling good so much,
Then I wouldn't be scared
Of love's sweet touch.
Kissing me softly
With one deep breath.
Sweeping me into
Eternity with the rest.
I wish I wasn't
Always so alone.
Everybody's something
I just want to go home.
Nobody to talk to,
They're all cloned and fake,
And then there's me.
Easy to break.
They think I stand on a pedestal,
Perfect picture in a frame.
There's more to it.
Underneath the mask there's shame.
Horrible things
Said and done,
But nobody will listen.
To them it's fun.
I hold onto my anger
Locked in a box.
Chains all around it.
Attached are locks.
I wish there was a key
To let it all out.
But instead it builds up,
Exploding without a doubt.
Sometimes I want to scream
So long that life escapes.
Then I'd shut my eyes.
I'd be the angel of disgrace.
