Stuck in the Head

Victim of my own insides

Bashing hearts

Two contrasting sides

Sympathy fights empathy

Yet, empathy always wins

And I find my insides dying

again

Looking at them and

Feeling every minuscule particle

Like it's one of yours

Sensing every endless emotion

Like it is one

Of you

How can you fight away

Stop yourself from their pain

When,

It's the only feeling

Sparked within you

Empathy withstands emptiness

This is the bargain

You choose to feel

Then, it must be

From the exteriors despair

That you encompass

Otherwise,

You're an empty, lifeless soul

With nothing to give

But your ruined organs

to the almost dead

Tar infiltrating the lungs

Demons digging their dirty fingers into the frontal lobe

Poison sinking itself into the pits of the liver

Coating it's virus around the slivers

Between the organisms

That have stopped functioning

That are no longer willing

To keep it alive
