Emptying The Body Of Venom Poem by Sven Rhoads

I feel the hate of another twisted nerve
I speak of all the pain but it all just goes unheard
I've taken every pill but it all just bottoms out
Still I find myself under the blackest of the clouds

All the snakes lying to my tired sorrowed face
All I am longing now is to get out of this place
The virus that eats their brains yet raises their salaries
It's left me on a path alone for all eternity

Everyday I know it's one for dying
As long as it all just remains the same
Still I go on but I don't know why I'm trying
The burns venom is flowing on my veins

And I know I need to get this out of me
How they just cannot understand
And I know I'm relapsing to a tragedy
All I know is I can't give in

Every word that they have said
Is like a bullet to the head
I just want to fade away
I've got to get away
Every memory is a polluted sin
I'm turning rotten deep within
I cannot live this way
Empty the venom out of me

When the body is breaking down
It's up to the spirit to finish the fight
