learn to walk carefully
barefeet in broken glass
it can be done with only the slightest caution
watch your step
smash your rage against the walls
hammer at the cage of your life
smash your past
start anew
sit on the couch
the glass isn't so bad in here
who needs shoes
physical pain can be release
nothing compares to lies
emotions shattered
with pictures of the old you
dig your hands into the shards
spray the walls
share the pain
write the truth in blood on the walls
no one listens
in the world without ears
tears go unnoticed
behind dark glasses
rage glistens in naked eyes
undiluted reality
accursed despised
the screams of the damned
the prayers of the mad
the hopes of abandoned ones
the last whimper of suicide
go unrecorded
ignored
television awaits spectacle
pathos too dark
left speechless
