3 Songs of Inspiration

Each day I will be listening to three songs and then writing a poem in response to how I feel after them. The songs will be randomly selected by my iTouch and the poems, completely original.

Day 1: March 3rd

Songs:

1: BYOB - System of a Down
2: The IIID Empire - Dir en Grey
3: A Letter From Janelle - Chiodos

I cannot seem to see the reasons why
they must encase us in this vulgarity
always watching
always waiting
asphixiating and smothering our existance

They try to tell us when to breathe
what to believe
how to live
this is no kind of life I want to live
Under constant observation

Frantic now, I'm sore from existing
and I'm not sure that you understand
that we cannot possibly escape.
I cannot believe I trusted you
You were them all along
and I cant keep hiding like this

I wanted to break free until the moment you held me back
and from there
I was encased in this tomb
Where marvels of the body
do nothing but decay.
