Justification

�

Justify my existence I ask

Justify why I should shed the mask

Darkness, sorrow, agony, despair

A piece of my life is what I share

Death is only becoming to those who wish upon it

Justify my existence

Justify why I should live on with it

The heartache, the loneliness, the sorrow, the lack of compassion

Those are among the things I can live without

If you an call my current state living

Long ago I wrote of this sadness

And today it still appears to be

My heart is cold

Nothing more than a shell of what once was

Nothing matters anymore

My happiness was a mere fantasy

A delusion of sorts

One that occasionally clouds my mind

Like a mirage off in the distance

The harder I try to reach it

The further away it appears

A goal that only others preach

Justify my existence

Justify how, when the only thing to keep me sane

Has been taken away

Justify my existence

Justify how, when the powers that be reach out from the night

You can’t….

That’s what I thought!
