Requiscate In Pace
I don't exist anymore
Such was the way before
Such it will be after
I feel like light feather
Blown in the dusty summer wind
I close my eyes, seeing a mind
Unlike any others, ideas impossible
Concepts often sworn to be despicable
Frankenstein, creature of horror
That story rings deep into my core
Monster, abomination, freak
Slowly, it trinkles, a leak
Of crimson and scarlet
This fearful sole outlet
That pain cherished
In the walls blemished
I lie, I deceive
Sad, I conceive
But, there is no other way...
To keep this shame away...
Loathing for my own self
Such even words heartfelt
Could not change in any shape
Broken, looping, like a tape
The Less Taken Path... and its Destiny
When in this endless night I see lonely
My own fateless wretched soul
Dripping of stench, oh so foul
I never asked to be this way, understood?
In fact, I prayed against it as I stood
Before the altar of the Merciless
And at last, put myself to rest
The melody of life
Rhyming with strife
Walking down at my own pace
Singing requiscate in pace
