They are dropping like flies.
One after the other.
Like blots of oil on pristine attire.
Yet, I do not feel a thing.

Or more accurately, I feel at ease.

Decay.
When Evil rots in the ground.
I do feel a slight sense of relief.
Alvin Montagnani May 2024
My mind is slipping.
Dripping in ink-like substance.
Feeding the rot.
Metastasizing throughout.
Loss of control.
Subjugated by chemical agents in conjunction with brain activity.

The real me.
You don't know.
And never will.
For I am still.
When you draw near.

Bittersweet addiction.
Sometimes I am sweet on you.

To my dismay...
It comes and goes.
I cannot change.
We are who we are.

"Burn the cross."

Said the man in his cold, soulless kingdom.

A religion once promised to lead mankind out of darkness.

Now I see that religion is little less than a dying man's memoirs.

Defining deception, degeneracy and decrepit morality.

Your life built on lies, just like the world itself.
You-are-blind

"Molten metal down my lungs
Branding iron on my tongue
City smog inside my mind.

~ The words of a slave."
You are him.
You are her.
There is no in between.

You need a friend when you're alone in the dark.
You need a friend with whom you can talk.
You need a friend, but nobody knows.
You're simply refusing to speak.

Why is that?

Because nobody understands you.
Nobody wants to know you.
You know that you're lesser.

"The mirror is the most adept liar."

You're a f(r)iend.
Recognize truth.

You are your worst enemy.
Alvin Montagnani Feb 2024
As long as I hate myself, I will hate the world.
As long as I'm alive, I won't truly know what it's like to love.

Even now, with my head in my hands;

I can't love myself.
Fragile.
Useless.
Pathetic.
Crumble...

Do you find it enlightening?
We're all in the process of dying.

The world showed you who you are and you embraced it.

Your name means nothing. It never did.
Your life means nothing.
You are but a number in a binary system.
You will behave as you're told.

And die when I say so.

Sincerely,
A "Dear Friend"
We are enslaved.
