'tis Easier That Way
Somehow I’ve failed myself,
Writing simpering verse;
Finding refuge in not thinking
Nor letting angry thoughts invade,
Destroy this fragile mind;
‘Tis easier that way.
Somehow I’ve lost myself,
Letting fairy-tale lives become more real
Than me, than my own existence;
‘Tis easier that way to live
In this fractured life, to exist
In this broken wave of madness.
Where is the solace, the peace,
The cooling waters that will heal,
That will temper this betrayal
Of thoughts gone wild, racing to be heard.
Somehow, I’m still in here,
Small, detached, observing
This dangerous turn, this devastation;
‘Tis easier that way to live
While demons take control.
