    cure for life

I see the world,
my life
comparison is to blame;
the pain.
agonizing defeat of the soul
say hello to my friend
misery loves company they say
I have lunch with him every day
I live and breathe him,
my twin, my brother.

I must be ostracised,
Banished
Punished
I must be tortured
slaughtered
Hung, drawn and quartered
Beat me
Cut me
I feel it none
I am numb

Strength by strength
Pain by pain
Life by life
Death by death

The only pain is on the inner
I squirm, writhe
But still on the outside
Kill me....
Save me from this life.

Apolokia, 1997
