Oh, how I wished for it to end,
When I cried in pain and torment,
Waiting for it to pass and leave my soul,
So eager to be set free,
Of all the suffering and agony.
So I prayed that I could feel nothing,
I thought it would come with such ease,
And I would finally get to feel at peace,
But I forgot my human nature,
Of chasing life’s experiences
And accepting them in such a playful way,
And little did I realize,
I would soon regret my prayer.
Because joy, comfort, and love
Faded away in the darkness,
Now I finally feel nothing,
And even though I try every day,
I am utterly debilitated,
And the world is so grey.
Now I look at all the people,
Whose emotions make them glow,
I wish I was still one of them,
But my heart doesn’t exist
Anymore.
