Altered
by visiblydistorted

Mountains will crumble and temples will fall, 
No one can survive its endless call.
Oh the temptation to live and to love,
Is choking me slowly, a sign from above,
That I should be joyous and I should be free,
But not a soul cares to treat me decently,
For fear of persecution, or teasing from a friend,
We all know who will be the loser in the end.
For as long as the moon shines its face upon this earth
We shall all be threatened with the subliminal curse.
The torture of waiting unbearable it seems,
I will amount to something, if only in my dreams.
I don't dare sit back and watch life fly by,
I tried that angle once, and was squashed like a fly.
Hearts of the innocent crushed beneath the pain,
Awaken from your morbidity before you perish in your shame.
I wallow in self pity, weep myself an ocean of despair
I swim from the depths to find the top isn't really there.
You have beaten me down from the innocence I experienced in a bind
To the ounce of dust invisible to your superficial mind
You left me here, transmogrified, as a hateful morbid wretch
And act as if it is my fault my life lies in a wreck.
