Inner Void




 

Shadows borrowed from another world -

Sunless days and moonless nights,

Left to suffer like some destined martyr

When all I need is a hug from a friend or a foe.

But the world is ruined -

No one walks beside me even into harm.

..

And now caged and broken I rot in the void

Like a monk forgotten in a temple on a mountain high.

My vision shattered, my ears deaf – senses numb just to keep me alive

I am no saint – just a normal human.

Hair matted, face covered in dirt – like a doll I wait on the shelf called life

Buried like a prisoner in the dungeon of my hollow mind.

Warmth has never appealed to me – I am colder than ice,

Winter storms in my heart.

That’s why isolated in the emptiness I stay

To cleanse my mind of the anger I feel among countless souls -

Empty shells.

My rage consumes me like a fire devours dry trees,

Spreading desert – natural disaster.

I am so undone, the answer is never given to me.

Like a rat trapped in a maze, I pace, anxious to escape,

Circling back to wrath – even the silence is not enough.

Vicious thoughts, yet an innocent face smiling, pretending to care.

From the depths of my ire I rise again,

My fury doesn’t scare me anymore,

I accept it as my second nature, another demon to tame

Like every sin I have trained to serve me.

I refuse to give up the dark parts of me just to fit into the world.

Disgrace might be my middle name, yet I embrace it.

I am not deceived by the false positivity everyone promotes.

I refuse to wash myself into the light as if horror doesn’t live inside me.

Tired of the molds, I refuse to obey – this is not my nature.

As a hurricane I rage, as a sun I soothe – the Duality I claim as mine.
