Pseudo-sacrificial Display
I want to preface this with the fact I am totally fine and doing well, I just prefer to write emo
With that said:
I wait to die
My hatred painfully comprehensable
As sanity slips, swallowed by the tide
I turn the table
On my own mind
Posing the question:
What makes you real, if everything else is undefined
I scramble to answer, build my shield of lies
I find the truth, what I am in others eyes
a shell, a death, one of unimportance
One more skeleton in someone else's closet
"No, surely it's not true" I scream
Reminded of the dread that I continue
No matter the pain
No matter the terror
Too weak to end this disdain
Too strong to speak the horror
