We Are Human
PoisonousMind Jun 2014
We depend on opinions from empty minds and change for people who need to change themselves. We take advantage of frail hearts and cut wrists to get to the top of a made up food chain. We rip innocent leaves from trees and pour death into bodies of water. We purposely bring pain to those we love and expect to then be forgiven. We intoxicate ourselves and trust we can get home safely when we realize we've just stripped away the life of a mother and her little girl. We obsess over people who will never appreciate us because we believe that's what we deserve. We feed off of the sadness of others because it gains the happiness in ourselves. We are selfish, we are murderers, we are human.

My Darling Demon
PoisonousMind Jun 2014
Don't stalk me in my sleep to awaken me in horror
Don't haunt my thoughts, for this is my safe place
Please let me be
Don't trample through my soul and take away it's spirit
Don't terrorize my sanity, I am not the crazy one
Please let me live
Don't tease my heart, it's done nothing to you
Don't take away my breath, I'm already gasping for air
Please let me go
Don't torment me, don't you think I've been put through enough?
You've made a mockery of me, why my darling demon?
You ripped out a flower from the ground and tore the petals off saying, "I hate you, I hate you not"
You run to your pray, looking identical, but you're not what they see, no you're they're worst nightmare
Don't you know when to stop?
You've won-you won
It's time to say goodbye to me
Don't give me a look of hopefulness with brutal intentions
I don't want to play this game anymore
Please let me be
Please let me be free

— The End —
