People love to live by rules and labels
No matter how hard they deny the fact
It is human nature to desire some semblance of order
It is human nature to require a code of morals
But what if I decide to reject these attempts of control?
What if I am not the type to be constrained by the whims of politicians
Some may then consider me an anarchist
Or simply just crazy
But my disgust at the rules that society places upon does not make me evil
In fact, I am a staunch believer in good
My issues lie in the fact that the corrupt are allowed to judge who is of upstanding character
When in fact, those hypocrites are the true faces of villainy
My ethics are not black and white
Just a nice shade of grey

A cozy blanket of numbness is what I seek
Far away from people and their faux complexities
Their insistence on infecting you with vile opinions
I need to distance myself away from the poison that is humanity
To have the ability of seeing their petty emotions
Through a pair of binoculars
I tire from episodes consisting of synaptic overloads
Decompress, readdress, and be free of stress
I desire the chance to finally say that
I just don't give a ****!

I want you to stick around
To play hide and seek in expansive memories
To peek out from behind a wall of forgotten faces
So I can see your eyes glisten in the night
I would love to feel your hand in mine
A pearl and its healing touch
*Snap out of it! *
That wall seems to be getting taller
Holding on to you hurts
Like clutching clumps of coal
Plucked from the petals of a beautiful, flaming flower
Those eyes aren’t catching the moonlight like they used to
20 seconds feel like an hour
And realization falls like a shower
That no matter how hard I try
My voice always stops counting
My eyes always open
And I still can’t seem to find you
A brand-new piece

Blood-red eyes are all I can see through
They watch as everything around me shatters and dies
Nothing will cease this rampage of pure rage
I’ve no time for ideas like hope and love
These things have evaded my grasp for far too long
This body will climb its way out of pitiful pitfalls
Drag itself out of the heartbreak and misery
It has become something elemental
Something frightening
All my guarded secrets are discarded in an instant
I have few regards for these people anymore
The rhythm soon overtakes my senses
And the beating of a heart
Begins to match the tempo of utter devestation

In this sea of white, I carve my path of crimson
The heavy flakes fall in droves
Landing themselves onto my love's lashes
She seems to be fearful of my smile
Her beautiful face accentuated by the ruby stream
Running neatly down her lips
I try to reassure her with my gentle touch
And while her bones snap in my hands
I give her a sweet kiss
and whisper
Hush.
I assure you, I am not completely crazy
Kush Sep 2015
Can I be your antagonist?
I promise you’ll hate me
For I am a cheeky little monster
An arch-nemesis lurking in the recess
Of your mind
I confess to being obsessed
With earning your contempt
Would a lovely sight it would be
If your gorgeous grin became a symbol of sin
Snatching you from the sky up so high
A pure angel whose wings started to darken
A heroine who suddenly lived on the edge
The rush! The explosion!
To know that I made your good character decay
That my touch lead to your corrosion
How beautiful that look on your face will be
As it fills with the realization
That you’re no embodiment of nobility
Simply a villain
Just like me!

He walked slowly and deliberately
Each step had a purpose
Each step brought him closer to the means to an end
His eyes were dark and serious
People looked into them and only saw a chilling layer of ice
His mouth was formed into a tight and grim expression
He didn’t like to waste words
People called him angry and aloof but it wasn’t his fault he was like that
He used to care too much about the world around him
That same world made him like this
Over and over again he was subjected to pain and disappointment
Finally, it got to him and he changed
His smile ceased to have its day
His blood begin to freeze
His steps became precise
His eyes now shot a menacing glare
He became cold-hearted
