I wrote this a while ago and decided it's near enough finished to share.

Born within a red glacier My skin has a mind of its own Pulling back on my face while stretching to my heart for home I try to shield my insides from the out With whatever words another says I felt another shout Try to hide the foreboding threats that circulate underneath and inside The inner corridor of my subconscious, eroded mind That no one could ever believe The crimson image of phantoms blended onto my sleeve I see one sign and think of something else I feel something swimming throughout my pulse Someone interacts with me and my central confidence melts I don’t expect to be treated like anyone else My only expectation is to fall false What is it that transcended this resonance What inner voice compromises my obedience My heart feels warm as it runs down my arms and my hands fade frozen I can no longer distinguish the difference between potion or poison Laughing when your sad Crying when your mad Screaming once you’ve had A smile spread once you know you relieved something bad Despite this lullaby With witch was intent to help you close your eyes It was always you that I despise I’m sorry if I had caused you to cry Though I can’t help the fact that my entire life’s feels like a lie Why must I forsake my will to survive In order for my soul to feel alive Why is it that all of my thoughts subside When my persona starts to run, fade and hide And nothing resisting the tilted shadow of suicide Why does society consistently stab a knife right through my hand Why does no one ever try to understand I have no proprietary I’ve chosen to reject society And develop my own distorted reality Why am I always aware of my sins What is this demon that lies within These transparent scars never cease To blind the dark light shed from the beast The constant flow of crimson blood Saturates what is left of my pure white bud This bloody badge along my left shoulder Proclaimed my honor as a mental soldier And my heads runs hot and my hands feel colder The cracks of a broken mirror reflect my bitter arcana And I face my inner persona A red and white outline where all it is that I find Are the visual scars that path the walls of my mind Past the green retina of my left eye The cracks of blood reach out and inject into the black focus of my mind The pupil image outlines the silhouette of my body in lye And the white forms the background of all the things on this planet I find Cascaded over the black blanket sea Encircles the yellow sheet of my darker right eye Just as the moon freezes the sky And preserves the stars and the thoughts that rise and burn brightly inside of me To my left is what is left of my pure white cloud To my right is the tangible and shallow, black shroud Should I lye on my safe and green earth Or should I walk on the pale yellow moon and continue my uneasy search Some people feel the need to ask if I feel anything but lonely Though existing in a black and white void is all that I need My links of greed recede as I bleed out what I believe My past leaks out as my blood paints all that I see Thinking, I sit in my room, staring at the wall Socially, I feel like I haven’t developed at all I start my classic tradition And I assume the fetal position I lye alone, spread out in my room To presume and resume That I should curl up tight and wait in my dark womb I feel that there are people around that I should by now have met Though I can’t help feeling that I’m not ready to be born yet I’ve come to realize the conclusion That there’s no reason to look for any solution I sleep, lying and denying my race though I have nothing to say And constantly people come by but I just shy away So when people drop from the ceiling to ask me each day “Isn’t it hard to be lonely, sitting, isolated in my room all day” My initial response is that I just have to say It may be hard but I prefer it that way As food is limited so is the lifespan of us all As will has its roots, people have the right to stand tall As the moon rises up the sun must come down As the light fades I can’t hear any sound My head spins all around And all I found Was what was reflected off of the constellations of stars Was that I’m mentally obsessed with these physical scars The psychological bars That limit my perception to hear out these intangible calls The sheepish parasite Begins to recite That in order for it to survive The mask must begin to breath nothing but lies The sun fades through the transparent ear And the truth is born to never be near That we should never follow what we feel But be herded only but what is printed as real The birds are human and the phoenix is god The gods rise from infinite ashes as we are born from the limited earth With deaf ears we deny his existence and resist the will of our birth They provide the sky as we share the land As they warm over our heads we set fire to our hands We numb our feelings with red water and once it starts Even the gods cant scratch through our frozen hearts Most resent The almighty intent And distort the words For the mass of the birds And guide the sheep to the field The attempt to disguise this plain as a shield We march on and beyond this world of fear And into a dark and distilled atmosphere Of mercenary ethics and tainted tongues The sharp words from beneath shallow wool of cold sheep Rage out and burn the air and falling shards cut quite deep Of the white sheep that grow numb from lack of sun The potential of some absorbed just by one The white wool fades to black and absorbs all the heat And the flow of hate repeat the deceit Of the white sheep with black skin And the gray lamb that stand against sin |
