At odds in every sense
Within and without
Enmeshed in the All
Tested to untangle day after day
Knot after knot, and for nought
All for nought
And I can't bear how seamlessly they drift
Through a life that to me seems a gauntlet
I just want to be as weightless as you seem
Instead I feel the drag of every step
The piercing glances that deem me inept
And the allure of an early end
Of all the eyes I try to hide from
I fear most the ones that bore me
For in them I see
Every ounce of the pain we share
Yet an ocean between us
When situations falter me
There is no warmth
When it’s not within me to speak
There is no warmth
Only estrangement and maliced tongues
When the senses overwhelm
There is no warmth
When I'm crying out for help
There is no warmth
From them, from this, from me
I'm so tired, so worn
In self, forlorn
Should I fall asleep
Might I not wake?
They can’t get me in my dreams
And neither can I
That world is mine
This world is not
