my devotee, i caress,
with gentle prowess, as their veins run with blood,
and i feel it beneath my fingertips,
a limitation, to my inner being,
as i take their chin, and lift it up,
gripping forcefully, in an attempt to break the skin
and feel the truth, in their worship
almost completely rid of their mind, but not their heart,
my acolyte, gazes up at me, smile framed by these fingers
i am supposed to call mine, awkward and useless,
until she came and found me, and suddenly,
everything living became vital,
and i could feel a pulse beneath my own skin,
beating and beating and beating,
endlessly enduring, a trait akin to my follower,
whose very presence has started to consume my thoughts,
a place that used to be mine only, and yet,
im willing to share, if it means i too,
can one day show them the truth in my divinity.
basically word ***** but i think its kind of cool!!

Sometimes, I do not feel as though I belong.
When I write, my anger bursts out of me, explosions smattered across the blank page.
When others write, their pens leak tears, the sadness soaking the page.

Why am I different?
Why do I enjoy the rage that consumes me and, just as quickly as it came, leaves me with its damage?
Why can't I drown in the heaviness of sorrow that slowly suffocates everyone else?

Sometimes, I feel as though I am the angriest person in the world,
this world overfilled with sadness and melancholy,
while I am pumped full of rage.

Am I different?
Why is the rage so shallow yet it comes from an untouchable place within me?
Why does my sadness seem so deep, yet my despair fades as soon as I put words on a canvas?

I am the angriest person alive,
in a universe of sad, poetic souls
and yet, I can't find anything sad about that,
only anger.
this one is pretty simple haha :3 just felt myself going into trance and writing this! (just kidding lol)

I love a sunburnt country,
but now the land's ablaze.
the oxygen we breathe has turned to dust
yet our request for help is denied.
I love a sunburnt country,
but there's not much left to last.

Firefighters aren't getting paid,
Neither are their bills.
yet our leader claims we're all fine
but he can afford to jet away.

The wildlife is damaged.
Koalas are losing homes.
much like the population
as the fires rip through their walls.

I love my sunburnt country,
but this has gone on too long.
while it's nice you're in hawaii Mr. Morrison,
everyone else is left to stand alone..

isn’t it awful how i treated you
and how you left me alone
and isn’t it awful how you didn’t tell me
while i tried to atone
for my sins, and prayed to the lord above
and you journeyed forward, devoid of all love
for me and i looked around to find a land
stripped of everything, and the horizon held
the loss of a gentle hand

— The End —
