Fallen

My Hollow shell is all that remains
All is lost in my endless pain
So much sadness, so much sorrow
As I lie here awake dreading tomorrow
Painful thoughts stuck in my head
Crouched in the corner alive but dead
My head is lost in sadness and confusion
Love is just a stupid illusion
Why even bother, why even try
Either way you’re going to die
I wish this suffering would go away
As the pain increases day by day
Ill trash my body until it feels nothing
I doubt my life ever meant something
Why can’t I be normal, I’m hardly sane
I’ve got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Completely shattered below the surface
My life has no needs, no wants, no purpose
The pain, it hurts, it makes me cry
When will this end, why won’t I die
