Theater Of Tragedy

By SorrowSoul

Cascading shroud of infinite sadness
And weak with hopelessness
Dark are these days of my fade
Only a mere whisper among shadows
And I crawl, hollow and alone
Fate’s design so synthetic
Engineered for and by the chosen
Destiny’s blueprint unfolded

My image of misery here for social satisfaction
Force my existence to be nothing
Dead soul puppet
A cruel example of reality
On sadistic display for all to see

You see that my presence is only here
To exhibit everything you are not
You have your sigh of relief
You appreciate your life slightly more because
You will never know the pain that existence has endured
You will never have to suffer the everyday sorrow
You will never be that person
And I will never be you!
