Void Of All Things (Jan 15th,2003) Poem by Nicholas McDonough

Upset angry
for feeling so alone
I need more than
a pretty face to call my own
Standing all alone
Promised everything
a bit afraid
a little brave
Why is this life a disease
ripping and tearing
I want to leave
it all behind
keep it dead
crumble it away
get it out of my head
Throw all this worthlessness
into a pile
I want to burn it all
to pacify this darkness
get read of the lies
kept stuck on rewind
in my mind
They stain
my brain
rip them from me
to live another day
I want to escape
can't grasp ahold
shockwaves keep
bringing me down
pounding at my thoughts
battered by memories
that just won't go
unrelenting pain's
breaking me down
calm this sea
given to me
energy runs deep
through my pulsing veins
surrounded by ivory moons
and cold stormy rains
I'm altered broken
lost in world's end
void of all things
