Poem
Surrounded by hate and negativity This world is cruel only because they shape it to be No one ever said life would be a breeze I must kill my monster I MUST KILL THESE MONSTERS IN MY LIFE They fill the air with vile I wish some people weren't so self absorbed A painting doesn't just express a image or a single object It conveys a message, a meaning Even if it was painted for its appearance It still has a purpose What drove the artist to paint it? Why were they in such a mood to paint it? I must depart from the blind I MUST KILL MY MONSTERS AGAIN and AGAIN I'm kicked down But I shall rise ever higher for I perceive of sorrows of this world As a darkness that leeches onto the soul I WILL BANISH THIS SHADOW OVER MY CONSCIOUS They're like bats hunting at night, forever they seek to rob me of my life I must resist or befall the same curse as many others laid before me I must slay this monster inside I MUST BATTLE THIS NEVER ENDING NIGHT If only I was a cast away, I wouldn't have to quarrel with the already wounded I'd rather face eternal loneliness THAN TO BE SHANKED BY A THIEF IN THE NIGHT They think my youth has preserved me of hardships, No. I just learned to see the benefits of knowing that This life pales in comparison to the next I MUST CURE THIS SICKNESS FROM WITHIN If it wasn't for metal, I could not drown this rage growing deep inside I pray to find a way to cope with such days And sleep easier throughout the night To love your enemies is hard when they reject themselves So the war continues to wage I MUST PURGE THIS HAUNTING FROM MY LIFE Starved of a mothers nurturing, felt the sharp pain of a fathers abandoning Deprived of peace because of the foolishness of others But I will remain strong for I know the path is long I have grown accustomed to to being lonesome Sad as it may sound, I find peace in such solitude Nothing speaks to me more than silence Nothing understands me better than silence Nothing gives me greater self awareness than silence HARK, as I wait in the dark and embrace silence LIGHT SHINES BRIGHTER IN SUCH DARKNESS I have a shield of faith to keep them at bay A sword to cut me free from their wicked ways Their black arrows seek to penetrate my heart I deflect them with my shield and cleave through the MONSTERS lurking in the dark I MUST KILL MY MONSTER I MUST SLAY THIS MONSTER INSIDE I MUST CURE THIS SICKNESS FROM WITHIN I MUST PURGE THIS HAUNTING I MUST SLAY THESE MONSTERS OF THE BLACKEST NIGHT
