Want to know me?

I wish you not.

My life, my soul, my mind

A blackened knot.

I'm forever cold

But always hot.

A frozen piece of hostility and pain

Nothing in life to do but to moan and complain,

About the pain that I feel but can never say

Because people never look at me the same way.

I'm lost, I'm blind, but I can see

Exactly what it is your doing to me.

But i wont say a word,

Because I'm never to be heard,

Only to be seen,

Apparently, that's to be expected of me.

But you know what I say?

I say nay!

Fuck that shit.
