Tear (Sep 26th,2002) Poem by Nicholas McDonough

Standing still in time
in a lifeless void of existence
Trying to did and tear
out of this nonexistence
that keeps me buried
The coffin of life holds me under laughing at me
with it's smooth talk and mind games
An endless cycle of insanity
begging pleading to be broken but
noone seems to hear the begging and pleading or
noone seems to care
Stuck in this endless game'this endless joke
Waiting for life's punchline
Only to find it never comes.
It lives on the joke
feeding on each and every dilemma
The joke isn't that funny anymore
It never was, the sick humor of life
may be it's own way of getting back
for the terrible way it's been treated
and misused
Taken advantage of and
The corruption of it's purpose
