I keep erasing the words I write
With no life or soul in a poem
Why bother writing one at all
Deon Apr 2017
Here I am again writing **** down like it'd make me feel better
I look in the mirror and **** i still like what I see
But the dude on the other side
Doesn't seem too happy with what I've become
A lot of things have changed
Not much that I'm particularly proud of
Maybe my best days are past
Maybe I'm a **** after all
Maybe I'm ****** in the head
And the only thing that makes sense is a paradox
Maybe I just need to sleep
Or get hit real hard in the face
It's probably really the end of days
Too late to be a ***** about it now
What if it's okay to feel bad
What if it's okay to ***** up
Maybe I'm just human after all

What about those I've hurt?
Wish I could say sorry enough
I never mean to hurt anyone
Except maybe the one in the mirror

So much has changed
But hey I still have a piece of my soul
I should probably let that bleed out too
Cos yeah it's so much easier to not feel at all

What the hell?! I'm probably overthinking everything
Nothing's as bad as it may seem
Well until your demons come to feed

What does it matter anyway
All of it
It's all just a joke
Not a very funny one though
I'm gonna climb back up my ***
And not show my face here again
It's not like anyone gives a ****
It's not like I give a ****

I'm no poet
I'm just ****** up
I guess this is what I get for coming back here. Uninspired thoughtless ramblings but hey I never said I was Shakespeare

He offered me the earth and all in it
Riches and gold, power and fame
A place above kings, a throne to sit
Pleasures in life without no shame

In exchange for a soul
That I possess
You won't be a ghoul
Or demon possessed

Not nearly enough I turned and smiled
I wish not for fame
Nor money and power
If you give what I need
We have a deal

A man without desire
For the things on earth
What do you wish that I can't give
What do you have that most men wish

You're the Prince of Earth
And I'm satiable but
Not of the things in this world
Those things never last
Metaphors still
Deon Dec 2016
I should have taken his offer
While it lasted so
All I could've gained
In exchange for one soul

But I don't want riches
I don't want fame
**** I don't even want power
I just wanna know why

Yeah I stopped writing
Cos it stopped helping
My demons still are
Pounding in my head

I've lived I've loved
And seen the good in people
I've hurt I've hated
And seen the worst in man

But I don't blame them
Not for what happened with me
At least
I still blame myself
For not taking the angel's either
Metaphors appear to be a good illustration but I don't think I'm back to writing though.

God will not destroy the world
We'll destroy it long before he arrives
Deon Jan 2016
I think it's kinda funny
I know it's kinda sad
The people who betray me
Are the ones I trust the most
Deon Jan 2016
You'll find this hard to believe
I find it hard to say
The dreams in which I die in
Are the best I ever had
