Hellbent
people dont always reveal
exposing their curled horns sharpened
towards the sky
elaborately torn or newly shown
wings
gigantic over towering
guiding their soul
who says there are angels
when to be told were all sinners
was there a time when we were saints
you cant
those twisted thoughts engraved into
the stems of our brains
scorned into our flesh
the stench too strong to deny
burdening makes it harder
especially if there is shame for those scars
living
yes but at least you are breathing
somethings cant lurk in the void forever
boredom eventually becomes you
reach into the abyss
feeling and hearing those whispers
those my love
are your demons wanting to play
