I just wrote this out last night.. so if it sucks tell me!!lol

Shadows, slow and deadly, creep in,
Faster and faster, I feel my head spin.
Til my secrets are all, that's left within,
And, my Swiss Cheese memory is solid again.
How hard can it be, to see my own face?
It can't be harder than running this race!
I cannot remember how I got to this place,
I just know these memories will slow my pace!
You beg to know, why, this hatred runs deep,
Why it wells up so strong, it costs me sleep...
It saps my strength, til I collapse in a heap,
Battered and broken, til there's nothing to keep.
When the day starts anew, I cry and I moan,
One more day in Hell; a life lived alone.
The splendors of Love I have never known,
For I live in my head; a world all my own...
Why couldn't I be like the others I see?
I'm sickened with envy, of those whom are free!
Why was it, that broken, is what I must be?
I've told you before, I don't WANT to know ME!!
I have wasted my lifetime, erasing all this,
Burying my past beneath shit and in piss.
I thought, they were memories, no one would miss,
Guess there's no longer room, for ignorant bliss..

    Its definatly doesn't suck.
    I thought it was quite good, but I've grown to expect as much from you.
    Keep it up.

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
