On Mute

I'm drowning in the sea of pain
I'm screaming into the smoke for anyone to hear
I'm crying to the heavens waiting for an answer
I'm still trying at my will's end
I'm still awaiting answers that I asked for years ago
I'm still burning in the fire that has blazed for an eternity
I am still tired
My exhaust has lasted it's own lifetime
A lifetime of pain and dismay with only glimpses of happiness
The glimpses keep me going
Going on and awaiting the next moment as patiently as possible
Until then, I try
I try to continue
Because that's all we do
Continue until we can't
Until we can't try anymore
Until we can't.
