Falling On Nails Poem by Phantom Anonymous

Why do I fall on nails, to justify being alive,
Why do I clutch at optimism, in hopes that I’ll survive,
It’s my heart that pushes out of my chest, in hopes of getting nearer,
A lifetime of beats in just one minute, I’m I’m exhausted to be its bearer,
Being asleep for so long, it’s only now that I’ve awoken,
For all this time it seems, I’ve been dreaming with my eyes open.
Paying no attention, to the love in which I fell,
Giving no prior warnings to a heart, that’s walked through hell.
