Destroyed Destroying - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

I'm mentally stuck in the negatives
My soul needs the numbers to break even
I've fucked my karma beyond recognition
You might say I am beyond the reach
Beyond the reach of anything
Nobody's god can possibly help me now
But we're still in this together somehow

Deep within my concrete cave
I feel to be society's slave
I lash out against the steel
My flashy impact feels too real
Why must I feel so numb
How come I am so dumb
Where has my childhood gone
Explain why I no longer feel
Explain why I've been deprived
I might as well destroy us all
I've done well with my own destruction
