This..."deep meaning".
It cant force itself to come out.
Its trapped and cant find a way to surface.
With every move it makes,
Its shot down,
Left for dead,
Abandoned.

This..."deep meaning",
Doesn't even know what it is.
It feels dark and upset.
Rage filling up inside for having to hide in shadows.
Everyday, all day.
Its lost,
With no help.
Forgotten.

This..."deep meaning"
Is taunted by many.
It has limited time, but goes on forever.
Its stuck, but no one cares.
It begs.
Just go.
Stop.

I have been searching for something..Its something inside of me. I dont know what it is, or where it came from, but i want it to go away. It never stops. Its reoccurring.
