Shai Hulud For the World

Poured out...

I poured myself out: I am the empty cup.
my hope died away, and my tolerance has faded.
How can I keep stability on such shaky ground?
Prayers that a smile will flag me down, down.

Sadly I've learned there's no truth in comfort.
Well-being stems not from love.
Anguish proves to be my only means of solace,
yet I want to be held by anyone, with any arms.
~
I spend another morn alone in a world that rejects me.
A public unkind, laced with apathy.
This one's for the world: I hate you.
I hate you!
~
I poured myself out: I am the empty cup,
my hope died away, and my tolerance faded.
How can I keep stability on such shaky ground?
Prayers that a smile will flag me down.

Life could get no colder.
I'm living out a dying cell,
but I can pull through.
I can pull through.
I can pull through.
I can pull through.
I can pull, I can pull through.
