words have no meaning if not for the horror of their reality- Edgar Allan Poe


We're born alone
And we die alone
There are some, who this truth deny
But we know the truth
We know this isn't a lie
We're born alone
And we die alone
There's no one there to help us through that mess
Only ourselves and our loneliness
The prince isn't lying in wait
We know this to be true
That no body will be there to go with you
We're born alone
And we die alone
This was always meant to be our fate
No one can help us surpass those gates
We lie to ourselves always asking why
We know there is no answer
We know there is no reply
We're born alone
and we die alone
Thats how it's meant to be
Creatures of habit
Creatures of lies
Why not look that void in the face
Stare deep into its dark black eyes
We're born alone
And we die alone
Theres nothing anyone can do to change the facts
Thats just how its got to be
But personally i cant wait to walk hand in hand with myself and step beyond to see

I was exceptionally tired and was kind of upset and decided to write this poem.
