Elements

In the deep blue waters
of the sea, I lurk inside
a sinful me. I'm stuck here
for all eternity, in another
dimension where no can harm me;
I know this by all certainty.
Days are long, yet so unreal.
I don't believe that I actually
walk the face of this Earth.
I feel like I'm of little worth
all alone wondering why I'm here.
I am blind from all reality.
Yes, I can see the world, but
not for what it really is. There
are so many people out there who
live hatred lives. They are the
clouds who block the sun from my
eyes. Raging fires are left burning
outside this motherfucking world.
We have destroyed every natural
resource that we have been exposed to.
Never do we stop to think. I justify
what has been said with all apology.
I have nothing left inside me because
of the people who wouldn't just let me
be. I can only fear for the ones who
cry in tears, for they are the ones
to never recover, but end up empty,
just like me.
