What Lies Within

I’m psychosexual

But somehow

A hyper-intellectual

It’s like a festival

All up in my mind

 

Fueled by love, lust, rage, maybe hate

Lysergic acid

Diethylamide

Hopeless dreams and psilocybe

 

I would entice you

To look inside

But I’d fear for your sanity

It’s no place for the blind

 

I once thought of ending it

Closing the blinds

On a cold winters eve

In the dead of night

 

The bottle in my hand

I broke the glass

No liquid came out

I was drunk off my ***

 

This was how I was

Or perhaps how I am

I question everyday

If this was part of the plan

 

Cuts all up my arm

I’ve always said self-harm

Was for the weak and twisted

With their minds tangled like yarn

 

But now I see truth

I’m an agnostic

All I need was proof

I’m a concrete home with no roof

 

I’m a writer, a brother

A musician and a lover

I’m a man and a boy

An old soul that never knew joy

 

She was momma’s little angel

Starry eyed with her dreams

Turned **********

******* randoms for the fiend

 

A hopeless romantic

His heart sealed up hermetically

He strung himself up when she spat out

“You’re pathetic”, apathetically

 

What a broken society

It’s the norm to suffer

It’s a personality flaw

To give a **** about another

 

This is why I’m insane

You see why I’m a ******* ******

Always getting caught up screaming

“I’m just trying to do the right thing, you know?”

 

A semi-schizo voice

I’m perpetually trying to shut up

Showing compassion for others

Only made me an altruistic ******

 

So now you see

What happens when you read in-between

These are my minds insides

I hope they made you scream

 

But I only brought you to the doorstep

Would you dare to step in?

All I can tell you is

I never made it out

 

There are true monsters within

I wrote this morning on a whim, turned out being something I really took pride in writing out. Probably one of my better pieces.
