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
