The worlds heart is to hard and to cold to break for you
Frail,
battered, and broken is this empty shell of a human being
One
doesn't need to be a house to be haunted
The
mind has millions of long hallways and many connecting corridors
Everything
external has wicked its way in
A
war has been sparked between one's mind and one's heart
A
growing internal ghost has the perfect host
One's
life becomes a lonesome place
No
one recognizes one's face
Stripped
clean, you mirror whatever others want to see
Its
like yourself, behind yourself, concealed
There's
this darkness growing and consuming
How
does it creep in on you?
It
seems like it comes out of no where, but you know that not to be true
It
seems so slow and unflinching
Its
like a deadly silent stalker
Your
the perfect pray for an unforgiving predator
You
never see it coming
It
just jumps upon you, swallowing you whole
Where
is it hiding?
Shadows
lurk within you
Sometimes
its simply sitting in plane sight staring you down
The
whole world is watching
The
weight of a thousand eyes are burying you alive
In
a single second they make a life long choice
They
pass cruel judgment and convict you
Your
sentenced back into that barred prison that already exists inside of
you
Their
convictions towards you are like a loaded gun
By
just being you, you are tempting their bayonets
Words
are like numerous revolvers hunting you down
Stray
bullets are a fatal thing to be left flying around
The
darkness seeps in like an assassin
Wind
blows through the emptiness like a bugle horn
One
by one desperate tears fall
Peace
cannot be found
You
took your power in your hands and went against the world
The
world took your will into its hands and turned it against you
The
darkness has shut down your mind
Your
blood will be spilled without a single blow
You
will take up your eternal rest in the land-the ground-below
Questions
fill this troubling void now
Where
does this darkness come from?
Where
does it get its power?
How
does it creep in so quickly and so dangerously?
Is
the darkness in you?
Is
the darkness... you?
