• Quiet seductive whispers caressing my inner self,
    Settled deep within a labyrinth of twisted tragedies.
    I find a soothing peace birthed from this corruption;
    This deceit.
    A beautiful poison, inevitable bliss
    So close in reach, brushed with my fingertips
    A solid heartache, a wounded mind,
    Diminished in a moment’s time.

    Penetrate my flesh, eradication of despair
    A piercing sensation straight through my vein
    And to my core of rotting, decaying lies
    Release the addiction in to me
    So now I may lay my head.

    Pulsing through my empty shell
    Filling these voids of places sucked clean of life
    Thoughts spinning yet standing still
    I’m on the edge of right & wrong
    But I cannot differentiate which is which
    I am aware of this concepts existence, but knowledge is but half the battle.

    Slowly exit vision as my eyelids claim all sight
    Am I blinded or finally able to see?
    A blackened state of mind that feeds the rest
    I am left with nothing but what my roots entail.

    Oh, you’d quiver in an intoxicating fear if only you knew.
    You would be JUST LIKE ME
    If only you knew…

    And when I re-open myself to glimpse this world once again
    I will smile since ignorance is my power
    Manipulation is the game that I strive to evolve
    Life is the question, the journey, the class that I continue to attempt advancement
    And….
    With petty joy no longer, there is no more pain.
    I have entered a life by my own will; Finally.

    ...finally?
