Some Things Are Better Left Unknown

Forced to a life of unfathomable hells.

In full light yet all that you can't see
Is everything inside myself that's slowly killing me

Demons so dark and horrors of the mind
You should feel thankful to be so blind

Trapped among the living in a soul that's already dead
Just a constant stream of suffering, endless in my head

You force me to a life that I long to only end
This battered body broken with wounds that will not mend

Selfish in some ways, as my pain you cannot feel
Believing in hopeful lies that some day all can and will be healed

But as you go about your happy lives, so fulfilling and so great
Alone, I lie awake at night,
Knowing one day, my life I will take
