As I Sit Here (A Con)
As I Sit Here (A Con)
As I sit here
and contemplate, onething most surely comes to mind.
As I lay here, and decimate, the very borders in my mind.
As I wonder, most innocent, why I shouldn't pull the little bar
That they call a trigger; and now I'm staring at the stars.
Glimmering
..
Shimmering.
Looking down at me
Freezing
Shivering
I dream my destiny.
Once such dreams were wonderous
Glamorous and fair.
Now these dreams are nightmares
and I can't help, but despair.
I'm realising slowly,
Just what it meant to me
To be that person I envisioned
And believed myself to be
Now the truth haunts me,
for my guard is down
The voices, they all taunt me
And the one, it takes the crown.
It tells me of my worth
Or very lack thereof
It whispers ever gently
The ease of death by gun
My fingers tremble slightly,
My hands have found a shell
I load the gun, so lightly
I condemn myself to hell
What is there but pain
And cruelty in this world
Who have I
But I
My brain sways and swirls
The thoughts of death
A comfort
One I wish to know
I walk outside, and sit down
My mouth, my words, they flow.
I speak to every god and spirit
That I have ever conceived
I know not what to follow
Nay, nor what to believe.
The cold steel in my palm
The burning in my hand
Would take me ever gladly
To that far and distant land.
and with that thought I suffer
I shall allow the pain no more
In the thought of death
my feelings take their store.
What could I have done
At all, most differently?
Nothing, dare I say
This is how it was meant to be.
I say to all around me,
I loved you all along
'twas when 'twas not returned,
That despair enslaved me; strong.
Now I sit most defiant,
of the breath roosted in my lungs
I speak to the spirits
In all the heathen tounges.
I beg them for forgiveness
of what they are to see
I pull that damned ol' trigger,
And the walls begin to bleed.
The fire of a thousand suns,
burns in every pore
As my eyes roll back to nothing
my very soul implores:
Praying for the end of all
The stopper to the spring;
Hopeing all is ended
And no angels there to sing;
But alas, sweet one of mine
The story continues on
For All life is endless
And god is but a con.
