Liars Cradle

By silentninja

I can't stand this reality
I am not the man I used to be

If I ever was a man

I simply demand what has become of me?
To see the hand that delt me eternity



Maturity

Maternally

Mortality



In sadness I cry for suicide
In madness these thoughts I must hide

Take three a day is what I'm prescribed

My baddest moments are covered by my lies
I've had this thought over again in my life



My strife

My wife

My arrogant pride



Press pause in order to live
I'm not even sure if I am really alive
As I tear out another stitch in time



It could a while till I write another bad rhyme....

    Depression can get the best of us! "In sadness I cry for suicide In madness these thoughts I must hide Take three a day is what I'm prescribed" These lines really stuck for me, i've spent a lot of time keeping my true thoughts away from the outside world... I feel like they'd lock me up if i didn't. Excellent write xoxo

    Pride a dangerous seclusion of self... Let lies be naught... thanks for the sharing. Scholar
