Rough And Ugly

 



Another night under the dim moonlight, I took a stroll to calm my madness

To claim what I felt lost - what was stolen or gifted, I was not sure anymore.

Cobblestones ahead of me, darkness gently hugging the body,

Wind softly holding the weary hands.

The restless of my mind is exhausting

Playing scenes long forgotten,

Voiced by people muted from the songs I play.

I let them conquer my thoughts, I let them run wild

And then I strike back with confidence I thought I never had.

This is just my overstimulated mind - They are no longer here, my soul is safe.

Overthinking is my worst trait, reliving old pain from time to time

Just to remind me I am not the one I used to be.

I enjoy the pain I inflict myself like a shameless act, a punishment of once being weak.

I love the safeness of the night, I can show my demons, I let them run wild.

I am losing my sanity and put myself back – we are all doing it;

There is no denial – I enjoy the taste of my weakness – sometimes bitter, sometimes sweat.

The silence is the mirror of my thoughts – so destructive, raging like sea storm.

These sick conversations held ages ago, accompanied by grief and betrayal

A dance of cruelty – I to them and them to me.

We live a morally grey lives – we are not villains and yet we cannot be heroes even in our own fairy tales.

We are broken with the desire to brake those closest to us, so that we are not alone – misery loves company.

We are so dedicated to the cause of being with cut wings, unable to fly out of the grim situations we have created.

We play victims yet we are the cruelest executors, carrying the “justice” on our filthy lips.

We are so damaged, annihilated emotionally; craving “salvation” of who we truly are.

We are so ugly when alone yet so shiny when others are around.

Duality is our first nature, theater with masks Venetian style.

Our souls feel so ancient – culturally educated yet destructively primitive – godlike beings.

We create, we destroy, we build and we tear down as if it is not a big deal.

Possessed by old delusions and hate, these empty streets feel so foreign, I am undoubtedly lost…

Should I give in into the old habits or should I fight a constant battle – the old me or the new one to prevail.

I am so tired of this inner conflict, I feel so dizzy every now and then

This inner strive for survival is so unnecessary and yet I feel obliged to fight.

Cobblestones, dark night, alone with no regrets,

Grinning smile, predatory eyes – this is the final form of my emotional strain.

I am the monster and the ethereal being – light and darkness

Neither good nor bad – just a human in its weakest state

Seconds before calling my demons back inside,

Before hiding all the pain and happiness just to stay a few more days peacefully ALIVE.

And then the cycle will repeat in self-destruction and self-rebuilding countless more times.
