not again”



“not again” -
i keep saying
“not again, not again”
while i’m slowly fading
engulf into inanity
now it’s empty -
again?
“not again, not again”
meaningless shit to carry
“not again, not again”
with no hope what above
“not again, not again”
on cold floor that don’t bother
and this glowing light snuffed
“not again, not again”
and i cant try to bear it
even stars here don’t shine
even with your eyes open
it’s no longer aligned
“not again, not again!” -
you keep screaming inside
while you watch fingers bleed
from sharp rocks on the walls
of this black bricky void
“not again, not again”
but there’s no way!
nice try.
