I Knew

Knew they couldn't fix me,

Knew they'd give up,

Because I am worthless

I am empty.

They ask me how I feel

I say nothing.

They ask me what happened

I say the world.

I wonder if they understand,

I wonder if in there minds

The world is perfect

and loving

and forgiving.

Because if that's how they see it,

Then I know

I know that they are blinded

From the ugly place

That I have been,

From the tainted life

That I have lived.


Do they understand

The emptiness

The despair

The pain

The suffering?


Do they feel

Hunger

Shame

Guilt

Despair?


Maybe that's why,

Why they never listened

When I said lock my chains

and hide away the key,

So that I can finally go down

Down the nice nice river,

and I can finally dream,

Dream a dream of peace.
