Untitled 18
i wonder often what is the purpose...
of life, of love, of so many different things...
they keep crawling like spiders in my head
they keep coming without a sense of retribution
i felt insane amidst the beat in my head
i am alone often in the jungle of clairaudience...
sensing things, hearing sounds that lingers...
i wish there was silence to condole my grievances,
but silence is my haunter i could not run from
i dwell in a room i call escapism,
for there are so many things i could not understand
why do i live in solitude? why do i run?
why so many suffer in a flick of a dime?
why does God permit wickedness throughout?
why i ... why do i live to die?
sometimes i sit in a corner like a scared brat
incapable to love yet always trying hard
to die without a bit of purpose; my incubus
to live without a pinch of sense; my succubus
am i just a machine that God plays?...
or a mud of clay that grimes astray?
i know many live just like me
for some reason we are pointless smokes...
to live to die... i don?t know why...
for i am lost in this world of lie...

"hearing [a] sound[s] that linger[s]" you are allowed one "s"
"condole" while a word, is awkward here (console).
haunter - unusual, and usualy apostrophied.
well. it's very heavy in vocab, and the subject is done and done and done - but somehow this rises a bit above the usual ... crap, for lack of a better word.
Another example of, "in the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".
You get an 8 for making me go to the web 3 times to look things up.
