broken dreams and
smashed hopes their
entrails littered
on the bare ground

people push me
and they use me
and they don't know
i don't want to be found

i want to hide
in the folds of
the cloak of
death and

fly away to a
better place where
i don't get this
urge to end myself

the darkness
wraps itself
around me so
i struggle

my attempts at
escape are futile
and it
consumes me

death looks down at
me and cocks his head
sharp beak glinting
in the light blurred by smog

i don't want to be
a part of this machine
where i don't belong
a misplaced cog

please
just
let me
go
