There are people in this world that take everything from others to better themselves. |
-Skin, Flesh, Hatred Obsessed- by Keaton Foster Skin, flesh Hatred obsessed Knowing nothing Of thy truest self But you Way out there Stranger So declared Understand everything About all that is me And you won’t spill Oh the hell You’ll keep it close A deeper secret A darker resentment You won’t tell a soul Not one alone Secrets are your weapons Your method of inflicting Greater are your calculations I speak with ease While you speak with meaning I speak as a form of appeal You speak as a method to deal Your judgment of me Has hurt me most of all And you are well aware of it You take each of these words Using them against me Using them to hate me Showing me something From your towering assumptions Teaching me a dangerous lesson One not asked One not requested One that you alone Have deemed needed I have no god But you are all deity Skin, flesh Hatred obsessed You won’t let it go You won’t loosen your grip Always upon the rope Around my neck Tightening just a bit Slow suffocation Will be my ultimate death You will continue on Stealing my words Claiming them as your song Your badge of wounds In a world without honor You’ll commit each lie As truth and fact You’ll bring yourself up Higher than ever before You’ll be a member of the club Whichever you wish Whatever you desire All of it had At the expense of my mind And this terrifying life You will become me Because I myself Am nothing to no one else You know I won’t be missed Because who I am is a lie One that goes no further Than the crafted name Upon this bleeding page If anyone looks to see They’ll find nothing But a man That is merely a dream One made up One not even remotely real A fictitious hero of much less Skin, flesh Hatred obsessed From me in due time You’ll take everything But not until I truly suffer For all that you’re sure I am And all that you believe I did You’ll take from me what I have Even though I’m convinced That what I have Is nothing most of all… Skin, Flesh, Hatred Obsessed Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
