I
Why does fear reside
So snugly
On your insides
Clawing at your meat
A reminder
It survived
An eternity of doleful life...
Ah! I see it now
Fear,
Is what fills your void
II
I want to strip you of your love
And of your goodness,
Be wretched, as I am
For you have deprived me
Of understanding,
Chosen
To be blind to my chains
Painted green,
Forsaken,
A monster condemned to pain
III
Amidst flowers
I fall into the night
A gentle sleep
IV
The sky falls
Do something now!
Put on your armour
Survive this war
The one you’ve carved
On the tusks of a giant
Mangled, Malicious
Your soul — revives
This wilderness
is a reward
Rejoice!
V
I carry an endless emptiness,
Walk with this dead part inside
Consuming me, piece by piece
Infecting what's still left alive.
VI
Inside the universe
We peer
You see the meaning
It holds
Where all I see
Is void
VII
I fear judgement
Even in an empty room
The audience
Is not just others
You know
VIII
I fear judgement
Even in an empty room
The audience
Is not just others
You know
IX
An eternity, I prayed,
For moisture in the sand,
For buried treasure to bloom,
Both greens and moulds alike
X
I want to talk
real words
of what I think
let me borrow
the ones I don't
I beg for sanity
but the world
is silent
please
