To be as I am
You must experience
What I have been through
What I have felt, and thought
Not only during the events I keep
Chained to a wall in the unconscious of my psyche
But in all of the times
I have taken simple pleasures
And soiled them
With my lure of taking pretty things
And ripping them apart

What a horrid habit of mine
To take a good situation
And manipulate it until all I have to do
Is strike a match, stand back, and watch
As everything that was once beautiful
Turns to ruins at my feet
The only things left are
The memories I have
Of the horrible things I've done
Another set of chains on the wall
Amber Lynn Boyd Jan 2015
Endless silhouettes upon a moonlit path
My demons have come to play
Enduring symphonies inside my head
They're taking my sanity away

I've been waiting for you my dear
You're locked away in my mind
I am filled with fear
Fear that remains over time

An unkindness empowered by violent delights
Acceptance is key to peace in my mind
The demons have silenced, but I know they remain
For now and forever I am declared insane

— The End —
