Step a little closer
Don't be afraid.
I am merely the monster
Everyone else has made.
Gone is my innocence
My purity my youth.
This world has changed me
It's the evil truth.
Cursed by vanity.
Plagued by insanity.
Caught in the charade
Of life's endless masquerade.
Between the heartache
And pain,
I've lost myself
And will never be the same.
Drowning in deceit
Lies have taken full affect.
Tortured by reality
The agony I inject.
Pieces of me have died
A little bit one by one.
I'll continue breaking
Until I have none.
Strength is a virtue
I was born without.
That came to me later
After learning what this world is all about.
So why should I apologize
For the monster I've become?
No one has ever apologized
For the damage they have done.
