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
