Pseudo Man Poem by Sven Rhoads

So tired of giving my all
Just to continue to feed the fall
The darkness that has become my friend
Reminds me that its the only one that's there
So tired to sinking deeper
Just to see that nowhere is my keeper
The quicksand becomes my anatomy
A self destructive solution after all

I cant keep faking the smiles to please you
I wont continue to lie that things are just fine
I'm becoming the very thing I swore I wouldn't
I've become the embodiment of my own hate

Empty out my tears, empty out my veins
As the stars fall out of the sky
Tearing out my soul, tearing out my heart
Just let me finally rest in peace

So tired of running into the ground
Just to question my existence
The shadows are all that stand by my side
Reminds me that in the end there's no one there
So tired of reaching out with hope
Just to see there is nothing there to grab
The empty room seems so much bigger now
Now that its only me and my friend misery

I cant continue living this way
Something has got to give
I cant continue like a prisoner
Living inside my own skin
