The Black, Hollow Ocean of Dark Truths

From birth to the end of teen years, the one hundred million lies were told Marriage being an ultimate form of happiness, giving respect to older people, and college assuring success just to name three have tried to poison me for years Unlike most, I gained immunity from them My immunity to each and every one of the poisons gave me an immense amount of power and wisdom I still keep fighting society every day with my mind and soul, growing only stronger in any and every way When society got desperate, it pushed me to the edge of a cliff Behind me, a hollow ocean of black water and society is telling me to conform and succumb I refuse and jump into the sea of emptiness At the cost of my morals, conscience, most of my emotions, and most of my humanity, I master my power and wisdom I see most of society as nothing more than a land of darkness where the rivers are dry, trees are dead, the sky is neither day or night, and there is little to no life and sound, being its true form The pain of feeling almost completely hollow pales in comparison to the tortures of every day lies in society I would rather drown in the dark, empty sea of scary truths than burn in the agonizing fires of society that tricks people into thinking it feels pleasant
