Defeated and left in desolation,
I am overwhelmed.
Traveling through this darkness,
feeling memories that were once had.
By me or by another?
Alone in this place,
I’ve become one with these thoughts.
Visions of evil, visions of hatred,
visions of corruption
which has not been felt in this world.
Walking in a possession.
Existence is my question.
What is this life?
Where is this life?
Overcoming, this is who I am.
I turned from a saint into a sinner.
Overcoming, this who I’ve become.
I am the transgression of a prodigy.
The ashes of my thoughts surrounding me.
I have brought myself into the fire.
The wake astounds me, I stagger onto the ground.
Bombarding my mind, these recollections
compiling to orchestrate my variance.
My past is overpowering my soul,
deepening the depression of my life as a whole.
Trying to assemble the puzzle of his past.
Recollect the life once had.
The ashes of my thoughts surrounding me.
I have brought myself into the fire.
The wake astounds me, I stagger onto the ground.
I’m a fucking disgrace.
On the brink of surrender,
he lays down to sulk.
