A million cries
Muffled, gagging, from great distance
I gasp for a breath
Of reality, something
I can hold on to
A million hands
Over my mouth
Waving goodbye as I sink and fade
Withdrawing, out of my reach
I’m trying to hold on, trying to let go
A million voices
Chattering in my head
Silenced only by the weight of numbness
Their cruel assaults drifting
Losing meaning as they make their wound
A million faces
Staring coldly, staring blindly
Cloned and smudged beyond identity
No one I know; they’re not to be trusted
Agent Smiths; they’re as lost as me
A million hearts
Broken and searching
Miniscule in a world where millions perish
All alike but all alone
Trying not to be afraid
A million wishes
For the end
Not death, but relief
When there’s no other way
It’s hard to see the right path in a world filled with darkness
A million apologies
Sincere and unheard
By those who don’t realize they understand
The agony and hopelessness
Of those who were sorry
I’m sorry I was one.
I would give anything for adventure if you would give everything for love.
