The Truth About Enlightenment

Photobucket

Who knew it would all come to this?
I'm dwelling in some catatonic sate
Which I can't seem to pull out of.

This black current keeps pulling me under.
Suffocating me with every thought.
I feel my lungs aching for air
And opening of some sort, freedom.

The thing that I used to cherish turned into venom.
A thick black sludge that stains your vile lips.
It comes to life in your pulsating heart,
And I'm despised for your addiction to it.

You know it never used to be like this?
I've been forced into this road
Not by me, but by all others
Pushing and shoving into this endeavor
Waiting for that moment of sanity to come within my grasp

Even I'm surprised by the smile that leaks onto my face
Catch it quickly and don't forget it
Lately, it seems to be something rare.
Or a physical lie, my mask shielding me from reality

I don't want you to be the one that saves me
Because you'll just make my wounds deeper progressively
Its time for me to crawl away
Carrying the last ounce of pride I happened to hold on to

Step outside your skin, and see the damage you've made
When you see it from my point of view,
Your adorable fairytale will come crashing to a halt.
This isn't the life you wanted to make.

So leave, take these mangled pieces of my soul with you
Ill just keep the decency that's left.
I don't want you to be a part of me any more
Ill walk out of your life, as quickly as you ruined mine
And never regret the epic mistake I made
For this made me smarter, a little bit stronger, and lot more different.
