I Take You

I am the unbroken soul. You know not of the bodies I've cracked and hammered down to stay alive. I am a thief, a master of everyone’s mind but my own. Plagues sweep the land when I exhale, and floods rain down poison when I cry. I flick my fingers forward, and my monster children are born. They spread my message to you, yet still I am overlooked. You are a witness to the horrors I inflict, and in turn you mock me with your own petty whines and scratches. I take your mothers and fathers, I take your water and food, but still you cast the blame to someone else. I stare into your unbothered eyes and spit angry desperation into your face, but it does not matter. For I am the one who’s lands and oceans you trample upon, and I will always be obscure in your gaze. unseen and unheard, destined to remain the unbroken soul forever. - Addiction
