What can I do to make it worth outlasting the storm
Because I resist the push to make me one with the rest
Who despise me as I refused to become
The one who tells lies to be
Acceptable to those who rather I fade from view
Not just die but disappear from memory and more
Life offers what others take
I have choices available I'd rather not make
If nothing matters
Why crush my soul in the attempt
Why accept the punishment upon the pretense
That anything matters
But dying flesh, pain, shadow and regret
