what do you call it?

 

What do you call it 

When you’ve grown but only weeds?

It’s for all to see

Careful water and spendings on the ‘fixes’

Only help it mask the stitches

My eyes, stealing away from gaze

My mind’s away

What do you call it

When you used to know what you wanted

Now there’s a gosht living in this skin

What do you call it

When the world has spun you out of its orbit?

Your oxygen lent, your days owned

What do you call it

When you’re alive, only through the pretence?

The cave of self betrayal and despair runs too deep

What do you call it when you don’t want to live

But you don’t die?
