Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Pointless

I don’t want to die

Let me make that clear

It’s just sometimes I feel like

I want to be suspended in the air

 

And I want time to stop

And I want all the noise to disappear

Sometimes I just wish

Nobody was here

 

I wish life had no purpose

No meaning at all

I wish I could just curl up

And be really small

 

Like a mouse in it’s hole

Waiting quietly by

The only sound that it makes

Is it's scratching by night

 

Like a slimy earthworm

Deep in the ground

Making no sound

I wish I could drown

 

In music, not water

Music with no voices at all

Because voices are loud

And annoying

And pointless

Just totally pointless

 

And conversation is meaningless

Don’t talk to me

I don’t really care

I swear I don’t care

Go away

 

No yelling

No laughing

No gossip

No lies

 

No more jokes

No more stories

No more fighting

No more sighs

 

Just endless fields of music

Violin’s

Piano’s

Drums

Cellos

Basses

Beauty in the form of music

A symphony of peace and quiet

 

Cause if life had no voices

No one could be hurt

We don’t need words

Because words

Are just

Piles of

Meaningless

Worthless

Pointless

Useless

Dirt
