Untitled

By Despairing Eyes

life is like a box, four walls a top and no way out
this simple phrase is the perfect summary for life
the plain belief that you can never escape your life
no matter how hard you try
no matter how much you despise your surroundings
or the people that crowd around you
telling you how to live your life
and how much you've fucked up so far
when you know the only thing you can do
is sit back and watch as your life runs wild
lacking any sense of contentment or security
knowing only what the day before has brought
and wondering what the next day will bring
