Alienation

Anytime you wish
Feel free to say
"Fuck you", as I am scum
So I kill you, now you are dead

Give me gentle confusion
A moment of life, bridge of reality
With no span, other than me
I am you, and you feel my being
So I feel from fear and repetitive motion

I am visited by the hangman of sanity
I wonder when I am still capable
If he still brings forth the reality of life
Or as he become a messenger of doom
I doubt it, for the hangman has brought me life
And the depression has gone away

A smile caresses my face
And my visions of doom are gone
Heart of reality is lightened
Heart of doom is dead
Life is lived by the lonely
The Lonely are united for a day
