THE USED

POETIC TRAGEDY


*Bolded are the lines most important to me

the cup is not half empty as pessimists say
as far as he's sees nothings left in the cup
a whole cup full of nothing for him to indulge
since the voice of ambition has long since been shut up

a singer, a writer, he's not dreaming now of going nowhere
he gave heed to nothing, and all that he was....
is just a tragedy

so he voyages in circles
succeeds getting nowhere
and submits to the substance
that first got him there

than in violent, frustration he cries out to God or just no one
is there a point to this madness and all that he was....
is just a tragedy


he feels alone
his heart in his hand
he's alone
he feels alone
I feel....

then on that last day he breaks
and he stood tall
and he yelled... and he takes his life


I often feel like there's nothing left in life for me. I've tried so hard in life and I feel like I haven't gotten anywhere, and it feels like 'all that I am, is just a tragedy'. I always cry to God but there never seems to be anyone there and that to be is being truly alone. Which to conclude brings me to thoughts of suicide.
