Four years ago, I died
I've lived my life a lie
I felt inside my heart
an ever-loving guide
I prayed, and prayed for love
while looking up above
tears rolling down my eyes
I closed them as I cried
I begged and begged,
and when I lay my head to rest,
I wondered why
I was treated so much less
I kept looking up to the sky
a hole with emptiness
and I had no one else to rely,
and with nothing to hide
with my heart, I confessed. . .
you could say that I'm blessed
with all that I've lost
I've gained so much wisdom
but at what cost?
I don't think that it's worth it
I don't think that I'm happy
I understand my purpose;
I don't accept it gladly.
I've lost my religion
it wasn't my decision
after all, I guess I don't always
value the truth.
but I've been through
so much pain
to me, it is all in vain,
what was sacrificed
of my youth.
My soul heavy, chasing material desires
Frustrated by the iron chains that hold me down
Heavy on me,
sinking me
into hot
scorching
magma.

As I try to become more and more God-like,
I get filled with more emptiness
more nothingness
I cremate
into ashes
and scatter across the void

I feel the horror
and anger
and fear
and whatever it is
and an inability to understand.

I feel paranoid
and confused
and just wished it was all clear

I feel stupid

And I'm sorry.
I think I felt sorry for not understanding spirituality
Out and about
random memories pop in my head
I just wander, feeling defeated

Trying to relax
sometimes I become distracted
by misty thoughts, thick like clouds

I become proud as my mind becomes silent
And walk away

Feeling the comfort and security
That nobody's thinking about me
Dreams built of cloud and dust
All my fears corrode to rust
The past filled with pain and lust
There isn't a man that I can trust.

Leaving this world behind,
I don't need eyes to see
The truth is hidden from the blind,
but it is clear to me.

Developing as a whole,
being filled with emptiness,
I grew myself out of a whole,
A beautiful part of the abyss.

My eyes filled with love,
look into yours,
all I see is lifelessness
I'm sad that you can't see value in me
Misguided by your selfishness

To be great is a secret
Until that secret is revealed
I sweat and grit in all my labor,
hoping my beauty will be unveiled.

So let's cheer to this moment, let's sip some wine,
let's cheer to this lonely abyss,
for what it has brought fourth is so divine
that we must taste it's emptiness.

— The End —
