it's as if the universe was testing me
it brings in and out
what i most want
it hides the knife behind the wants
and holds my throat with my wishes
it feeds me with temptation
it offers over and again
what i cannot reach
it grabs a hold of my ankles
dragging me away from joy
i'll scream and cry for it to let go
it hears me begging
it sees the bruises on my knees
ignorance is bliss to it
as it pulls my hair and makes me watch
for happiness is not mine to have
