This Bit of Contradictory Insanity
  You say it like it's true
  But all I am is a colourfully painted wall
  Nothing more
  And much, much less
  And that is all I ever will be
  I hope
  Meanwhile
  The acid of your words
  Stings my eyes
  And you wonder why
  I close my eyes
  And let my feet lead me
  Wait a second
  Then write another line
  Pieces of my soul
  Follow no orderly order or direction
  Don't kill me
  I might fly
  Fear is restraining
  And the unspoken words speak out
  Contrary to whatever I am
  Contrary to my reality
  I hate you
  Can't you see that
  Go leave
  You wanted to anyway
  Don't live by the rumour of your lies
  I'm sorry
  Not really
  But that's fine too
  What can't you see here
  The reflection of myself in front of me
  Is always going to be
  The wrong way around
  Just like
  One, three, thirty-four
  You'll never find out
  Peak to the point of infinity
  Then drop back down to sub-zero
  And go live in Antarctica
  Slashed clouds
  Only reveal portals to heaven
  You play full-contact with a glass football
  Go to hell
  Chance has sought me out
  To play yet another mind game
  And leave me guessing the answer
  To a non-existent riddle
  Just stop
  You don't have to try
  Only sighs of a heartbeat remain
  I miss me
  You aren't forgotten
  You're just not wanted
  What you cause
  Isn't needed
  How do I deserve the next breath
  That comes my way
  I can't cry out the rhythm anymore
  Bitterness bites
  And it hurts more to be lonely
  Music defines the silenced
  Without you
  And your annoying anti-presence
  Sound fades before the feeling
  Which fades before the sight
  Which fades before the song
  I might remember
  Or not
  Now who's the twisted one
  Right
  Please please don't
  Everything and nothing
  Here right now
  What is even going on now
  Regret at my heals snapping
  Not even needing to be there
  Because there is not yet anything to regret
  Other than everything
  Destructive
  Addictive
  I hate you
  So so much
  Ignore me if you wish
  It would make my unreality a lot easier
  And worse
  But you already knew that
  You use it against me
  Imaginary borders shade me in
  A cauldron full of boiling words
  Yet I can't even use one
  Thanks
  Thanks a whole ton
  That's awfully helpful
  Guess what
  I don't either
  Know
  And what else
  Ah yes
  And I call this a poem
  I never healed did I...
