Wake Up Call

Yes, hello this is your wake up call,
Stop looking at the pills
I know the thought’s enticing, but
They just won’t cure your ills
Do you think you’re the only one
Who would have an easeful death?
Like martyrs squirming on the cross
You’ll gasp for every breath.
I’m sure you have a set of tools
to slice and dice your pain,
But its just another addiction
That brings so little gain
Do you think you’re the only one
To give into the need?
Angels like to cut themselves, but
God won’t let them bleed.
You go and drown your mind in thoughts
Of death and dark despair
But morbid prayers won’t right the wrongs,
Or make the heartless care
Do you think you’re the only one
Who’s forgotten how to rejoice?
Demons like to laugh and sing, but
The Devil stills their voice.
Somewhere between the newborn cry
And the waning of the fires
Lies the shadow of the ego-beast,
Darkening our desires
Do you think you’re the only one
Who is tormented with regret?
The first born mortgaged Paradise
And we live to pay the debt.

Wow this is powerful stuff. Very confrontational but I think it had to be said. I like the bold lettering, it adds to the impact of your words. Rhythm and rhyme are spot on. Well done.
