Breathing But Not Alive


Here I am

Cuffed to bed

Transfixed to rest 

Staring straight ahead


Day by day

I fade away 

No one seems to remember

The man, who didn't get better


I watch the world changing 

I'm not part of it 

I watch the time pass by 

I've let go of it 


Unable to move a muscle 

Unable to cry 

Unable to live life 

I'd rather just die 


I just want to laugh

Like I used to do before

I want to live life 

Step away from this sore 


Not a day goes by 

When I don't despise 

My carelessness 

My growing lies


On if I hadn't gone 

Out if my way 

It wouldn't have occurred

That fatal day


On a walk home from work

I saw a little distraction 

My conscience felt weak

I succumbed to the attraction 


A little while later

After fulfilling my desire 

As guilty as red

I call myself a liar


Heaven read my thoughts 

And punished me so

I'd regret it forever 

I couldn't let go


A trip and a stumble 

A blunt force to the head 

I felt myself slip away

I felt my life crumble


Now I can't live life

The way I want 

I can't breath myself 

I can't read no font 


I'd rather just die 

Than stay in comatose 

I'm breathing but I'm not alive 

I didn't even write this prose.
