What Life Is

Life is a river of emotion

A river of hatred, fear, and devotion

A river where reality is the mud on the river bed

A river where you find yourself alive, but dead. Life is a dream of

satisfaction

A dream feeding upon your action

A dream filled with countless despair

A dream deadly enough to lay you bare. Life is the nightmare from which the

child cannot wake

The nightmare in which your heart shall break

The nightmare from which you cannot be saved

The nightmare in which all can be changed. Life is the poison you won't want

to drink

The poison you fear to think

The poison will be your undoing

The poison that tells you you’re losing.

Life is the lie you heard

The lie you always feared

The lie you always knew

The lie that has consumed you.

Life is what stole you, won't give you back

Life is the knife inside of your back

Life was always the reason why

My Life is done, now I can die.
