because i tried to act happy and good and fair
and i tried to fake all the emotions that just weren't there
i told you i'd write pretty words coated lies
use this smile on my face like a deceptive disguise
but the seems fall apart and the skeleton shows
it breaks through my skin and exposes my bones

HERE, SEE ME FOR WHO I AM
HERE, SEE ME FOR ALL THE BAD

THERE IS NO GOOD, NO PURE, NO FINE
THERE IS ONLY EVIL, ONLY BAD, ONLY LIES

i am the coffin inside of the man
i am the the can't when you say you can
i am the metal made of knife
i am the death residing in life
i am the poetry who will wake me from the dead
i write this at 1:36am from my bed
it took me 2 minutes to rhyme every verse
because im finally able to embrace my worst
i did not write this, i spat it out
the ghoul and the grim drip from my mouth
so **** all the good and the pretty and the kind
i'd rather drown in good poetry and lose my mind
happiness is great, i agree with you there
& what makes me happiest of all is creating  dark poetry to share
uniting people- one drop of ink at a time
until their blood is the ink of mine

hello darkness my old friend
it's so nice of you to visit me again
