Through the fields of decay
a penitence for every sinful day
starvation of the mind, thoughts slowly rot
within the spider's web, I am caught
failure follows my every step
as I find more and more to regret
and at my side lies only my shadow
as each day passes I only feel more hollow
Feeling stuck, trapped within a dream
I claw and scratch. Searching for what this could mean
while losing a little more of myself
Everyday, knowing no one can help
who would listen? And why?
A world of hypocrites, who all lie
close your eyes to the insanity before you
silence becomes all you wish you knew
Each out for their own
men who act like children, never grown
a parasite within our nature
Devils for which there is no cure
redemption few seek
temptation feeds on the weak
“For when I do wake, This universe shall be mine to take”
The trite and obvious rhymes
The trite and obvious rhymes you insist on using ruins what might have been a passable poem. Maybe you should forget about writing poetry and focus instead on writing material for Greeting Cards.
