What's It Like? by PunkStarChik 12/21/02
What's it like?
To be able to wake
With the sun, as it begins to rise
With no sadness, pain and tear drops in my eyes
Sitting up from my bed,
From my shell that covers itself in darkness
Not wanting to move, to breath or to smile
But to feel just hopeless
I push myself and I rise out of my shell
And out into the cruel life
That seems to burn like hell
What's it like?
To be able to smile
As I see myself in the reflection
Of a mirror that smiles back to me
That forms without any satisfaction
How could I smile back at that dreadful creature
It disgusts me and tears me apart
For this creature that's so devastating
That bears a sad dark lonely heart
What's it like?
To feel beautiful for just one day
Like a rose that grows so beautiful
Instead of a dying rose of decay
As my pedals fall off, one by one
Tearing me apart until I am none
I shed my tear till my eyes go dry
I ask myself and wonder "What's it like?"
For I will never know why
