A day began, elegant and bright.
This will shatter in the blink of an eye, For with my emotions I will fight They make me drown, and at the same time, fly- Because it’s the Snap! Of the finger Out of tune With the eloquent Rhythm That’s all it takes To shoot to the sky So effervescent The evanescence Of humanity’s Sanity Despite all Our vanities We fracture the realities Headlong into the crossfire Consequences so dire Yet unheeded by desire The flame of impulse Reaching ever higher as I Stop. Freeze. And there is nothing. As before, I am nothing. As always, I deserve nothing. In the depths of a lonely hole, I am lost. Bleak and oblivious, lost to the abyss, Heartbroken disorder has taken toll. I am dragged slowly into my self-imposed hell, My demons tearing at my flesh, Rendering my thoughts asunder. I claw at the bleeding walls of my prison, A hole inside the depths of my heart, Into which no light can enter. Life ripped from my body, I sigh, Tears unwilling to fall from these sinful eyes The blade draws across my skin and releases my pain So that I may subside into myself, and welcome the numbing Shriek! At the baseline, Pounding at the same time Of our fists in the air Without care This looks like fun! Dare! Jump into the crowd Make those silent thoughts LOUD! The crash of the cymbals And the storm begins A soul of thunder, Gone in a flash, I delight in the purification Of precipitation Basking in the bitter-sweet Serenade Of my favorite bands My world an explosion of Silence. There is no world, for if I am the maker Of my own world, I must conclude that there is nothing, For I could never be creative or determined enough to create life. I am a blank canvas with no painter, I am an orphan of the heart, for which no solace exists. I feel no cold as I stand outside, the freezing winds Howl in agony around my unfeeling body. No emotion is alive here. No life will thrive, Not in this hostile world. I feel crushed, The burdens of my past breaking me down. I wait for respite, for the caress of the blade, For with it Hit play! Let that metal out, Thrumming base And air guitars, Smash glass, Gouge the walls Broken knuckles And frenzied nights Heart thrashes in the chest Close to bursting What could be a worse thing? No thing! Could compare, To the exquisite Exhibit Of human energy Inside of me! Release the inhibition Inquisition Of the institution Matters not, for I am Spiraling madness A contusion of the soul All emotions exist; now in discord, for I am: Full force Unbearable Intolerable Unquestionable Unquestionably Insane Deranged Screwed up Worthless Gutless Maniac Lunatic Tyrant Freak Time bomb Schizo Roller coaster Two-faced Liar Just waiting for the flat line Waiting for mental equilibrium That would offer solace To a damned soul like… What lunacy drives these thoughts? What cruel and twisted god has wrought such pain? No just God can exist when such misery occupies our realm Throbbing pain, spreading from broken bones, Thick, black bruises, And soft, bleeding gouges in this diseased and unworthy flesh. No force is able to end my life, Yet the end is all I seek To stop this insanity, To quell the demons in my head, To lighten the burden of living And to stop this heart from bursting. I just want the pain to stop, I want the world to stop, I want the music to never stop, I want the fights to never stop, It seems like this blood will always run, dripping down my thighs… JUST MAKE IT STOP! I pray this night, tortured beyond being able to cry. I wish someone could hear my plight, And grant me peace before I die.
