The Truth of What's Dark

Shadowed by my own mind.
Aggravation and frustration I've left behind.
For only the most unfortunate to find.
With no soul or just without a care.
It's a question rather than a dare.
Nor shall I even start to shed a nightmare.
Eventually everyone rises above us too.
Because it's what they've been trained to do.
If only the fools had a single clue.
We will always be alone.
Our minds too vastly blown.
And our hearts turned to cold stone.
Jaded by their indecision.
But I will not be the one to give up any of my incisions.
I hold them tightly, like little completed missions.
You give us absolutely no reason to fight.
I will not give you the right.
To take everything we say and make it trite.
So stay away from my purity.
I'm not the one with the insecurity.
But I'm the only one brave enough to stay within the obscurity.
