The Chosen One
Everyone wants to be you but no one wants the treatment you got your whole life.
How can someone be so loved and hated at the same time?
It's like being world famous but not recognized for it.
If i am the greatest that i claim, then I should die now.
Feeling like an outcast.
Lock my heart up and throw away the key.
Forever so lost and ill never let go.
My god, you are killing me.
Why cant i fall asleep forever?
Ill scream out into the void.
"Come to the darkness and you are ours."
Echoed through the fog.
And if you stare for long into the abyss, it also stares back.
I thought that I heard you laugh.
A smile through a veil.
Real eyes realize real lies.
I saw all.
I felt all.
I have come to know all.
You're trying to make your presence linger in me.
Look, I like you, but I'm not into the spirit swapping.
You're a demon.
Why cant we just coexist?
You are part of the powerful almighty.
You all are connected.
Hive mind.
I have no human on my side.
I have no entity on my side.
A whole world against one person.
The physical and the unseen.
How does this happen?
How come i don't have any family or friends?
Why am i only ever allowed to get semi-happy?
Why does everyone want to take my eternal life from me?
Why has everyone treated me poorly?
