Mind & Will
It washes over me with cold
Each crystal taking a part of me with it
As if to make me new
A different person with out all the grit.
Softness won’t come
to someone like me
Hardened by years
Of lies and misery.
The fools who believe
What I have to say
The follower’s mind
Needs no need to stray.
Weak and lost
Overcomes most of us
In time of need and desperation
Overcompensate we must.
The do’s and the don’ts
The in’s and the outs
I have no care for society
Or what they are raving about.
This all isn’t right
It means nothing
We are made to suffer
Not pamper like a king.
The hell is here and now
not tomorrow or when we die
There is no judgement day
It is all a huge lie.
The faith we all have
Springs forth as we grow old
Fear keeps us in check
Believing penance is the road.
I won’t be hooded in my sight
Or let these people overcome me
I intend to live my life
The way I want it to be.
