Nothingness
Always fighting this battle
Between demons and angels deep within my inner soul
Crowded darkness is forcing me in shadows
Living amongst the shades which foretell my life
Taking away my humanity and leaving me with a fist clenched with strife
How I’d love to fight
To feel the pain transfer from my soul
Unto the beings which claim total control
It’s all lies! I live in fear!
To the things that surround me oh so near
Snarling fools which snicker at my demise
Enjoying the torturous sounds of my death cries
Using me as a crutch
To manipulate the outcome
For their own selfish needs
Living with demons in this house full of sin
Nobody cares for the cries which lay deep within
The lion is in the den
Waiting to tear me apart
Limb by limb
How can they call themselves human
When all I see are beasts
Hungry for pleasures
Which could never please me in the least
I am the dinner; upon they feast
Soaring high above me
Towering over bathing me in sorrow
I have been transformed
Into a puppet
For my soul they borrow
Senseless
Mindless
hopeless
helpless
nothingness
