That place


I lived in the shadows of death
Watching so many I love fall
Knowing that it is inevitable
Doesn't help
The sorrow breeds great doubt
So much pain, can't draw breath
Living in a collective of screams
Can't muster the strength to break out
Broken by the choices
Hearing constant voices
Screaming in my ear while I hear hate
In every shout
Watching them die, one by one by one
As the world collects the toll
I have nothing to give and empty is my soul
