Unsung Verses of the Wounded Soul (Stream of Consciousness)

The pains of reality justify the

Deep seated sorrow of man.

 

The vulture encircles me

Events surrounded by mystery

Enveloped in insanity

The human race is

Captivated by mystery

Doomed to repeat history

 

Collusion to bestow unmitigated

Sorrow upon my being

 

Simply put, I am

Damaged goods

 

Speak softly now

And choose your next thoughts

Carefully,

For the devil has called

My soul to dance

 

Reckless, unmitigated

Abandonment

Of mind, body, and soul

Fruitless searches

Forever numb

Longing to feel whole

 

Deep beneath the rolling waves

Lies serenity

Amongst sunken slaves

Deep inside my brain

The labyrinth of my mind

Memories that

I've left behind

Gone with the breeze

Above arid land

Somewhere lost in the desert

Where only shamans understand

Somewhere locked in the innocence

Of childhood frailty

Misplaced in the universe

Perpetuating reality

Walking alongside

All the gods of the ages

Bounding across time

In history's pages

Vacated with the morals

Of man

Lost in the seams of

Our lives

In the absence of the infinite

Shared hallucinogenic cries

Gone with the limbs of

The serpent

Ignored individuality dies

The reflection of man tainted,

For it is where the devil hides

Looming in the shadows

Of irresistible allure

No acquittal of our sins

A race ****** to remain

Impure

Violence surrounding our

Unequivocal, dastardly instincts

Perched in the forefront of our

Perceived selves

Selfish, devilish

Acts of kindness

The misfortune of the fortunate

Given all the amenities

Of a king's meal

Without the sensation of

Taste

Washed away with our

Dreams of betterment

Laying upon the chests

Of mythological beasts

Souls left rotting

Souring with ferment

 

Supreme consciousness

Arouses the senses

Invent my future with the

Myths of the past

 

You're stuck in a state of

Imaginary grace

Dream myself into

New bounds of transparency

 

Cryptic writings

Things left unsaid

Unsure of the real

Or the surreal

Life's slipping away

Once again

Paper in hand

Palms begin to sweat

Indulging into reality

Memories

I long to forget

 

It seems forever

Since I've been home

Trying to balance

This chemical imbalance

But always, I'm left here

Alone

Believing my dreams real

Realizing my world's surreal

Living with uncertainty

Imagining reality

 

Where do I go

To hide the pain?

Dual existence?

Acute psychosis?

Trapped inside my own

Brain

There's a place in my mind

I like to hide

Where all of my secrets

I do confide

There's a place I go

To bury the pain

A papered existence

Conducive synopsis,

Abstained

 

I begin to sweat

My heart screaming

From my chest

Let the feeling pass

Delve into the kingdom

Inability to

Repress

Take me away

To that far off place

Abscond into surreality

Amongst things I dare not

Confess

 

Drinking in divinity

Affixed on mortality

Will I die in this place?

Unable to resurface

Back in reality

 

Stuck running in circles

On a surface-less plane

Can't escape the shadows

Can't remove the pain

Simple design

Made up of

Over thought complexity

A universe separated

Removed from the modern mind

Inexorably

 

Amputation of

The mutation

That is the

Human race

Segregation of this

Charred realm

From other wordly

Space

We live

We die

And death begins it

Reinvent our minds

Ignite our passions

 

Drowning in a gene pool

Of degenerates

Souls thrashing

Wildly, forlorn

Plunged into unmitigated

Evil

Of a race that destroys

The unborn

 

Lachrymose gaze

Upon the living dead

A thin film of separation

Through which lies

Are fed

Understanding the weakness

Into which we are

******

For shed blood

Forces cries

Ripping from mother's eyes

Witnessing her own demise

As a piece of her

Slowly dies

For father's impenitent

Fantasies once dreamed

Torn away from aching

Fingers

Left ravaged,

Impotent

 

Gazing at you

Under the cloak of

Intrigue

Watching you struggle

In the tangled lies

You weave

 

Commanding the head

Of the serpent

Lilith forcing man's

Non-repent

Imposed upon our being

Righteous punishments

Such ramifications

Deemed astringent

 

Incomprehensible

Allure

Masochists of

Everything pure

 

Watch the world die

From afar

Irrevocable despair

Promising allegiance

To a life I cannot

Bear

 

Killing myself with

Indecision

On the perimeter

Of sanity

In the psychotropic prison

And psychotic affliction

 

Here it comes again

The voices, getting louder

It doesn't feel good anymore

How do I escape

Escaping?

Where do I go when my sanctum

Has been compromised?

Unable to quiet

The insurgents afoot

Incurable, incalculable

Indecision

Lost, finding my way home

Left in between existence

Alongside myself

Alone

 

The cold, inhuman ability

To sacrifice one's own mind

Hanging onto the coat tails

Of free thought

Journey we now,

Into the nightmare

Ignoring loss of

Comprehension

Vacated laws of

Apprehension

Arming latent illness

Plotting revenge

Beneath the surface

 

Here it comes again

I hear it getting louder

It doesn't feel good anymore

Who will save the lifeguard

When he's about to drown?

 

Can you see me?

Can you hear my cry out?

He looks to find

There's no one around

 

Searching indefinitely

For myself

Lost in another

Under the guise of

Someone else

Why does it matter?

Seemingly insignificant

In a moment of clarity

Just breathe for a moment

Shoved back in reality

"Am I dreaming," he asked

His reflection replied

The answer profound

Unknowingly died

 

I sold my soul to get here

On the periphery of realization

Stuck on the perimeter of reality

Reentry revoked

Forced to sit idly

As my life passes

Before my eyes

 

This is my letter

Unable to deliver

This is my life

Unable to decipher

This is my nightmare

That I've never dreamed before

 

Trapped in the prison

I've constructed on my own

Locked myself in four walls

Of uncertainty

Built in the center of being

Unnoticed by the proprietor

Frailty prevalent

Implosion of the mind

Leading to the ******** of

The insanity

I've come to find

 

Death looms at the end

Of the candlestick

Walk hand in hand

With me

Fellow traveler of

Uncharted paths

My fellow affliction

With the unknown

Unable to save myself

From the pain I know

Awaits me

 

Here it comes again

Inescapable, maniacal laughter

It doesn't feel good anymore

And all I ever wanted

Was your guiding hand

Complacent in lies

Forcing deafening cries,

For there will be

No reprise

As my soul flutters

And dies

 

Death for sale

Ten will take you away

Consumed by the thought of it

No more worry

No more being suppressed

This other kingdom

Unknowingly repressed

Delve deeper into the nightmare

We lie together

Naked

Unashamed

Open to the probing

Fingertips

Of the world

Unable to speak

Sleep paralysis,

Yet this is no dream

Wide eyed

Searching

Unable to scream

 

Incommunicable desires

No longer latent

Unsuppressed is the disease

Of your discontent

Insufferable, forcible pain

Towards the ones loved most

Catatonic, embryonic

Feeble mind

Please save me from myself

 

Forgive me, father

For I know not what I do

Forgive me, mother

For I do not blame you

 

Plastic state of being

Suspended in the viscous

Coagulant of stolen thought

And free will

Drowning in my

Own enjoyment

Of self suffering

 

How will you remember me?

A trembling voice

To read my eulogy?

 

Forget the things I should have said

This demoness I've brought to bed

Speaking in riddles

Bewilderment of the senses

Deeper appreciation

For the subjugation of man

 

War criminals in suits

Pretentious, cowardly vestiges of man

Surrounded by an air of

Undeserved arrogance

Getting fat on young girls

Sending their children to war

Safeguarded by a desk

And the allure of change

Obscene, disgusting animals

Consuming their weight daily

In the profit of drugs and

Devised disease

Profiteers of death

Politicians work the corners

 

And I fall,

Too weak to carry on

Can't escape my own

Lonely, cold, loveless

Gaze

Black holes in my head

Leading into the depths of

My soul

Emptiness pervading

Madness running rampant

Destroying who I once was

Tearing to pieces

My uniqueness

Stripped of self

Thrown back to march

Within the masses

Towards impending demise

 

Staring into the eyes

Of the serpent

Turned to stone

Numb to emotion

Numb to pain

I cry out for substance

I miss the person

I used to be

The person you loved

Before you met me

 

Relieve me now of sin

Unto re-birthing, begin

Relieve me now of this burden

Knowledge and shame

Relieve me now of myself

And self inflicted pain

 

There it goes again

Making me feel dour

It doesn't feel good anymore

Purge me of this dependency

Ancient, carnal need

Necessity of loathing the infinitesimal

 

I've met the devil in my dreams

She looked a lot like you

Dreaming in wakefulness

Awakened desire in dreams

What is my intention?

 

Do I provide a function

Or functionally provide?

Are you living in a nightmare?

Have you gone to sleep and died?

 

Synesthesia upon awakening

My sensory perceptions

The permutation of the

Infinite

 

Children of the wilderness

Remove us from the

Impurities of societal disorder

Relieve us of the blandishment

Of media driven fallacies

As the masses are hoarded,

Spoon fed their own flesh,

And directed onward

By the pusillanimous grave robbers

Awarded with the title of

Government official

Given diplomatic immunity

And free reign over

The direction of our lives

 

There lies a serenity

Beneath the quiet surface

Of the ocean

The ocean floor is vast,

Uninhabited promise

 

I have developed an acute prescience

For what will come

 

Man unknowingly conspires

Against himself,

For the good of man

Cannot overcome

The evils of mankind

Conquering in the name of

Worthless ideals

And fruitless endeavors

 

Conforming to nonconformity

You're only fooling yourself

 

Wandering about in a dreamy state

With unexplained expectations

For some sort of happy outcome

Welcome to my nightmare

My inescapable kismet

Defend me from myself

I have become

My own worst enemy

Just a hyena looking for

A lions share

More animalistic than

A starving predator

 

Morally ambivalent

Acting upon

Inconclusive notions

There is no stability

In this loose earth

Sinking ever deeper

Into life unbeknownst

To me

Quicksand enveloping

Sanity and conscience

Leaving behind

Only memories of

What we ought to have

Become

 

Been suppressing emotion

For so long

Seems like forever

Since I've gone

Numb to the heartache

Blind to the happiness

Rediscovered childhood

At the end of my life

 

The words become a

Flowing river

My pen cannot dance

Quickly enough

To capture my

Escaping tongue

 

Discovering escape

Through self sufficiency

 

Sanity is nomadic

Traveling from

Person to person

Mind to mind

At any given moment

We are all insane
