disappointment
25/M/United Kingdom This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind
There is a ghoul within me, that lives on nicotine, exhaust fumes, and broken dreams. There is a ghoul within me that scowls at the sun, but smiles sickly at the moon, chewing bullets in a gun. There is a ghoul within me, with a lost mind. It treads on torn glass, of a burnt kind. there is a ghoul with me and i'm alone in your room

with me
A single candle lit. A solo fire burning in solace to flip, That which is dark within my soul Into much more than that which is known - That I’m broken, and need redemption.

Shred
Do you know that feeling? That feeling where your soul feels rotten Whence a storm laid, now lays barren a silence So quiet and empty that nothingness seems to spark a light Your body lays so still, You mind remains unfilled With thoughts of happiness and hope. But instead infected with reality and doses of truth Inferiority seeking to turnover Into superiority - attempts to become fail and reveals A wolf in sheep’s clothing Filing its fangs to a bite never opening but always closing. Do you know that feeling? Of pain and insanity? Overthinking, reacting, turning vanity into insecurity. Fearing that first step, to face your demons hidden as angels valiantly.

Do you know that feeling
Let the father reminisce about the, shepherd who failed to lead the sheep, Lucifer falling asleep, The souls he fails to reap, Fall on blades of hellfire, for the nether monsters to hold And keep. The figure is not a wolf, Not a leopard, But an innocent child. Shrouded in the darkness of the wild. His crimes, Deeply filed in between, His nails. His responsibility to protect, He fails. A preacher, Solely depended on, A leader, Solely repressing on, The lies of a book. Ones that cannot be overlooked, Much like a rook, On a chessboard.

the bible lies
I am the sheep that leads the shepherd, not that the shepherd would ever lead me. For you see, good things don't come in threes, they come in ones. One bee. A forest with one tree One snake that made Eve flee. I am the thunder that frightens the child, scaring even those who are wild. For you see, butterflies don't fly, they soar, wings causing waves, so strong, it disrupts even the planet's core. I am the pen that writes the tales, a myth, a legend, attempts to amaze never fail. For you see, It is the writer that feels, and the reader that touches. My stories, live, not messed by airbrushes.

Awe
I woke up like this. Face caked in sadness, eyes swollen of pity and anger. I woke up like this. Heart slowly starting up, veins warming up. I woke up like this. Arms bent out of shape, legs spread out for - I woke up like this. Head spinning, body sinning. Did I sin? Or did you?

If I ask you, will you say yes? Or will shallow feelings, take over and mess? Witness my heart, beat off the chart. For I fell for you, the first day I saw you.

Fall for you
His hair, striking down, Zeus's thunderbolts in the sky. Her hair, Flowing round, waves of the sea, clouds of the sky. His skin, dark as can be, akin to coal, darkness warps as far as I can see Her skin, pale pastel, image reflects on a white seashell. void of colour. His job, paying much, respect and such. Her job, paying little, a gap that men find acquittal. His eyes, grey like the storm, pupils dilated as he felt her warmth Her eyes, blue like ice, blocks of reflection, of her cold heart, of her body made of ice. Is equality just sameness, is that what you want to be? Just like the next one, prove your uniformity. Or be different.

His and her
Lines, red ink flow down his arms. Depress the pain, for the death of his brother, had not simply cursed Cain. Smiled when they call him deranged An affidavit of sadness to rage. Lines, cut so deep, structured so fine. It's a pain of a pure sort of nature, A pure kind. It's this way, or he goes away. For good this time. Lines, pastel skin so sharp, the colour red colours and warps. Church bells toll for a funeral. For one must accept the pain to return and become sane. Or they deny the lines. Let it be for just one more moment. Just own it. The anger, the rage, the pain, the sorrow. Soon, there won't be any feelings left to borrow.

It was an AR15 that the kid used. A gun that, in this free world, men can indulge and abuse. A boy who saw him load his gun, the gunman saw and simply said run, A word that made the child flee for his life, just before waves of bullets came upon the school, The kid looked on and asked himself why is life so cruel. How many more people have to die, before its ****** metal, not tears, that your children cry. This free world, rife with argument by silly politicians Men that make decisions, without experience of the repercussions. This gunman was not a delinquent, he was a child. Born of your failed systems, born of your sick traditions. A boy who without second thought, took up his assault rifle and headed into war with the children that learned ambition with him, emotion and sudden movement that made them all feel just that little bit stifled. This free world is one with a core of rights, A doubled edged dagger, a topic of discussion that makes the average fat man want to fight. ‘Over my cold dead body’ he said. LET ME HAVE MY GUN Because whilst others use it for fun, the protection I have outweighs the fact that when a 19 year old comes to school, all the other kids have to run. It’s ridiculous, heck its thoroughly imbecilic, How children have to be careful of the education system, not because of a nationwide test but a, nationwide threat of grown men, looking to prove their ego, men that can’t go against the party line that fail to realise that life is more important than the next donation than the dollar sign. You want protection? That’s completely fine. Just don’t use the bodies of your children as meat shields and pretend everything’s fine. Don’t say you’ll do something as if something will change because nothing will change unless it does. This free world is not filled with love but truly its filled with hate, A bloodlust so dense, even children’s blood cannot sate it’s thirst. Until it's more than just a child hurt, but a country with a bullet wound Caused by people, who love guns so much but blame it on the loons. Your pain, I cannot prove.
